I am an AI Film Director and VFX Lead, RISD alumni (BA, Film / Animation / Video — 1994–1998, First-ever 3D CGI animated degree project at RISD), with 30 years of professional experience creating cinematic visuals for film, television, experiential, interactive, and commercial campaigns. I work hands-on across the full post pipeline — Previz/Postviz, 3D + 2D CGI, Compositing, Editing, and AI-Generated Imagery — from concept through final delivery. I have worked on music videos with 200 million YouTube views, best-selling video games, #1 rated TV shows, Award-Winning Feature Films, and advertising + experiences for leading national and international brands. I contribute comfortably to mainstream media franchises at established studios, as well as original IP niche content for startups/independants.

Professional Summary
AI Filmmaking — 2023 to Present
Embraced generative AI since 2023 for video and stills production, including hybrid VFX integration. I use AI in preproduction for concept design, style exploration, and pitch decks. Professional commercial AI video directing experience for leading brands. I apply traditional VFX QC standards, No slop (unless you want that on purpose for a gag, in which case I got you covered)

Traditional 3D / VFX — 1994 to Present
30-year career as a comprehensive 3D/VFX Generalist. Works across multiple roles to minimize artist handoffs — modeling, rigging, animation, CFX, dynamics, look dev, lighting, compositing, camera tracking, rotoscoping, color grading, and on-set VFX supervision. I can and have moved from preproduction, to onset VFX supervision, to performing the final frame 3d and postproduction tasks for the same show.

WHAT I DO
I.
AI Video Direction
End-to-end creative direction of AI-generated video — from prompt and reference through final edit, color, and composite. I speak both the creative and the technical.
II.
3D & VFX Integration
Seamlessly combining AI video with traditional 3D CGI and live action. Lighting, animation, CFX, modeling, and compositing — all under one roof.
III.
Workflow Consulting
I design and implement AI video production pipelines for studios and brands. If your team is figuring out how to work with AI video seriously, I can get you there faster.
IV.
Concept to Delivery
Starting from a brief, a reference board, or existing design frames — I take projects all the way through to final deliverable, managing every technical decision along the way.
V.
Color & Finishing
Professional color grading and finishing for AI and hybrid productions. Decades of experience knowing what a finished frame should look like.
VI.
Technical Direction
Acting as technical consultant on productions that need someone who can bridge the gap between creative vision and AI toolchain — without losing either.
