About Me I've been working in Feature Films since 1998, starting as a motion control camera assistant and then operator. The motion control work allowed me to understand the importance of being able to shoot specifically for visual effects. With this understanding I joined Weta Digital to oversee the process of gathering survey, lidar and photographic data specifically to aid the process of matchmoving. Also then taking the matchmove data and ensuring precise matching of those moves back into motion control camera systems. I spent 14 years at Weta Digital going between Onset duties and then following the projects back inhouse to complete matchmoving the shots. I have a strong understanding of the entire visual effects pipeline and what the essential areas of importance are to ensure a solid result in often very tight timeframes.
