For this music video I attended on set as VFX supervisor to talk through various creative ideas and how to achieve them in post. Getting to visit the bunnies in person was an added bonus! I also contributed to the post work in the form of clean up.
Alice Through the Looking (2021)
Coming soon!
Shygirl x Burberry Olympia
For this commercial, I worked with the team to develop transitions to tell the story of entering and exiting the bag. I expanded the set for both the introduction and end shots, stitching together different moments.
Fardosa (2021)
I supported this short through clean up. You can watch it on Vimeo now!
SKRTY
Role: Compositor
Nike x Skepta – SkAir
I had the pleasure of working with Daniel Sannwald and Somesuch from pre-production through to the end of this commercial for Nike. I supervised and collected data on set for the talented CG artist, Simon Kounovsky, and provided compositing and clean up work to support the final look. I also handled the online edit. Who knew caterpillars could be so beautiful in the dark!
The Suicide Squad (2021)
I worked primarily on the sequence with Bloodsport and Peacemaker in the crumbling tower. I added set extensions and falling debris.
Role: Compositor
The Crown: Season 4 (2020)
The Crown was the first project that I worked on remotely during the COVID-19 lockdown. Despite not being together in person, we worked together as a team to deliver so many quality shots! I contributed roto, clean up, and compositing work across many episodes. Much of my work involved set extension.
As one of the few American artists on our team, I did my best to get up to date with all the historical gossip and enjoyed watching the final product to see how things fit together!
No Time To Die (2021)
I worked on the opening title sequence for this film in early 2020, just before lockdown. The main shots that I contributed to depicted CG flowers growing within human bodies. We blended the simulated flowers in to give the bodies a see-through look, and it contrasts against the bright red background.
Role: Compositor
Sky Italia: Sky Wifi (2020)
“With COVID-19-related travel restrictions in place, Sky Italia turned to Framestore to bring Italy to Jude Law, the international actor who stars in Sky Wifi’s advertising campaign.”
As a compositor for this commercial, I worked to integrate Jude Law (shot on grey screen) into the location plates. I also worked on some of the tunnel shots, extending the set.
GHOSTEMANE - AI (2020)
Working closely with Studio Linguini and Venturia Animation, I composited the 2d rubber-hose style animation into the miniature set. I also provided some rig-removal. Allowing the characters to interact and engage in the freaky invasion of the room was certainly a highlight.
Rejjie Snow - Cookie Chips (2020)
As the sole vfx artist on this project, my responsibilities included pre-production consultations and post-production compositing work. It was intriguing making a 2d image float away with balloons - and fit into film footage.
Celebrity Cruises: Wonder Awaits (2019)
As a 2d artist on this project, I contributed a variety of work. I made some mock-ups for stylistic decisions, I executed clean-up tasks, and did my fair share of compositing. I particularly enjoyed compositing the shrinking Alice.
McDonald's UK : Breakfast (2019)
As a prep artist on this commercial, I provided roto work for many of its shots. I got a particular kick out of working on the one at Marlybone Station, because I used to commute from that exact platform every day as I went to NFTS… to study how to rotoscope!
Ford Escape (2019)
As a 2d artist on these commercials I provided a variety of work, from roto and cleanup, to compositing. We made a city shrink and showed the Escape was up for any challenge!
A Christmas Carol (2019)
As one of the earliest compositors to join this show, I had the opportunity to contribute a lot of my ideas. Working closely with the vfx supervisor and lead, I helped develop the look of key scenes, such as the large bonfire, Scrooge as a ghost, and the ice in the ceiling. Later I executed many shots, helped other artists match to these determined looks, and made template scripts to send to other studios.
Morning Song (2020)
“A short film concerning a troubled mother coming to terms with the loss of a baby.”
My role as compositor on this project was to provide subtle effects to support the set environment.
Morning Song is now available on All4, click the link below to check it out!

Jurassic World: The Ride
This was my first compositing job at Framestore. Joining the team late in the game, I helped push shots over the finish line for the deadline. It was a great learning experience! Framestore went on to provide even more content for the park, which I hope to visit and see some day.
Sundress - A$AP Rocky (2018)
The style of this music video was an interesting challenge from when I was consulting during the shoot remotely, and to when I was compositing afterwards. While a lot of the effects in this video were done by hand and in camera, it was fun adding some digital touches as well.
This video went on to win Best Urban Music Wideo at the UKMVA and a Vimeo staff pick award!
Azaar (2019)
“A tribe of women await their men’s return from war. Azaar, one of the last young girls in the village is intertwined between her mother, grandmother and the rest of the tribe, as she comes to learn the true cost of womanhood.”
As a compositor on this project, my artistic responsibilities were not very numerous, and instead I was involved in many discussions about pipeline. Could grain be added affectively afterwards or should it be shot on film? How should we deal with the colorspace management of the few VFX shots that there were? With such an evocative story, it was great to watch it come through smoothly.
