Project Spotlight: Welcome to Marwen
A little behind the scenes on what my team and I accomplished on Welcome to Marwen. The show took a unique approach, melding fully CG virtual production with live-action facial performances transposed back on the doll heads for a truly unique look.

Fox Virtual Production Pipeline
My team and I created a multi-part educational series for Epic Games' Unreal Academy, where we took a deep dive in how to use Virtual Cameras, Motion Capture, Blueprints, and my favorite for my animator brain: Sequencer! Available for free, I love creating trainings internally and externally so we can all do better work together. This fella is old enough they've replaced it with probably-much-more-useful videos (Unreal has changed a lot, ok!?)
