Process

Every shot begins with a plate review and a clear brief. I assess lens data, camera movement, set geometry, and the final compositing needs before building an accurate camera solve. From there, I create or refine layouts, place tracked assets in context, and run precise checks against the plate. The final delivery is organized, dependable, and ready for the next department.
