Approach

Most VFX problems on an indie film are the same handful of things: a mic that crept into frame, a location that needed to be somewhere else, a 3D element that won't stick to the plate. I've been solving those problems across feature films and short films doing the work myself, not farming it out. I'm also a director, so I know what the frame is trying to do before I touch a single node.

Cleanup & Wire / Rig Removal

Boom mics, lavs, rigs, crew reflections, continuity problems. Shot-by-shot, frame-accurate, tracked and filled so it holds under scrutiny. This is probably the most common thing indie shoots need in post, and it's tedious enough that most people don't do it right.

Background & Set Extension

When the location gives you 70% of what you need, this is the other 30%. Practical set extended digitally, or a full environment built from scratch in Blender or Cinema 4D and composited into the plate. The goal is always that nobody asks about it.

Compositing & CG Integration

Live-action plates with 3D elements tracked and lit to match or digital environments that live-action elements are dropped into. Camera matched, color matched, rendered to feel like it was always there.
