Are you still here..?

I like to think my work can speak for itself but I can tell you a bit about me. I'm a curious individual who to my parents dismay started drawing on the walls as soon as i could stand. I excelled academically but also scribbled in the margins of all my workbooks. I got on my first professional project at Factory when i was 21 (Strange Hill High S2) where I shadowed all departments (production, post and development) in anticipation for me joining when I graduated,

They kept their word and my first role in industry was as a generalist where I took raw footage and saw it through to broadcast ready state.  I even got to do a some matte painting for Disney Club Penguin straight out the gate. From there i got to freelance for Aardman(!!), travel to Frankfurt as a face scanning technician and get headhunted for top secret projects. Sometimes I'm a generalist or an animator, I've also been a compositor a lot.

Forever fascinated by the functionality of programs and how to enhance my workflow. My curiosity meant i started dabbling in Houdini FX during lockdown and i was amoured by the satisfaction of a procedurally generated simulation. I proved my technical capabilities by figuring out Houdini so quickly and was then hired by Dimension.

The past 4 years of my career i found myself deep back end in experimental technologies. I was hired as a Technical Artist for Volumetric Capture but I often find myself between departments including Applied Tech, Capture, Content and Metaverse. I do a lot of tinkering but no i don't code - which helps as a Tech Artist actually because my documentation is understandable for non-tech artists.
