Directed and animated this short about bravery and finances. The piece hasn't been released yet, so here are some stills for now. Created in After Effects but inspired heavily by stop-motion techniques

"Surround" compositing

October 07, 2014 in VFX

I was VFX Supervisor for this project for Elevation Church. About 15 minutes of heavy cleanup and compositing due to studio constraints.

Grilling gone wrong

May 15, 2014 in VFX

Here was a quick (one hour) composite job for Elevation Church. This sequence in the promo had continuity problems which required the grill to be made closed and fire to be added. Attached is the video (with a couple "before" stills)
