About Brian
Since 2005, I have been working professionally as a Visual Effects Artist, beginning in the camera and animation tracking departments.
I often worked on set, at the intersection of filming and post production – wrangling the data used to create visual effects in post.
In 2016 I began using Unreal Engine, initially as a possible tool for motion picture previz and postviz. As tools have evolved, I am finding more ways to utilize real time visual effects to help filmmakers be more efficient in the entire pipeline, without sacrificing fidelity.
