I am a Nuke artist who collaborates closely with others.
Twenty years ago, I began working remotely after moving away from the city to enjoy new surroundings in the south island of New Zealand. Now based near Wanaka, my workspace is separate from my home—a hut nestled in a forest. Being surrounded by nature creates an inspiring and peaceful environment. It keeps me energized, motivated, happy, and focused on doing what I do best.
I thrive when tasked with integrating elements into a shot and making it look real.
Collaboration is essential to me. Working alone limits the exchange of ideas and problem-solving. Our team members each bring unique strengths and interests, and together we form a powerful creative unit.
Over many years, we've worked on a diverse range of projects from all over the world. We have contributed to many movies, episodic shows, and games. Large and small budgets. We often collaborate with other small, specialized 3D teams.
We maintain a streamlined shared pipeline and file system, adapting workflows and developing tools to improve efficiency with every new project. This allows us to plan quickly, set up efficiently, and hit the ground running.
