Harry Potter and the deadly hallows Part 2
-Effects Lead (wooden bridge sequence)
I was assigned the pitch for the Hogwarts wooden bridge destruction shots of the final battle. The pitch was successful the shots grew into a small sequence which was awarded to us.
Work resumed a year later when I was asked to look after the FX side of the sequence. After a brief few weeks building the final lookdev and workflow a team was assigned and we brought the sequence to temps and then to finals. Harry Potter and the deadly hallows Part 2 was delivered in 2011 and has won the Bafta for best visual effects.

Inception
-Effects Lead (fortress hospital sequence)
I was given a very small team and assigned the fortress hospital destruction sequence. It became clear during temp delivery that the miniature pratical shoot was going to require heavy CG augmentation. I prepared the destruction workflow, worked to establish the look and over viewed shots. The sequence was delivered in two months. Inception was released in 2010 and won the Academy award for best visual effects.

Hugo
-Head of Effects / Effects Supervision (Pixomondo UK)
I was hired to open and setup the FX deparment supervise and deliver the stereo show Hugo by Martin Scorzese.
The first two months I was involved in purchasing software licenses, hiring the team, setup from scratch the fx pipeline and interface with the existing renderfarm and production tools. I also prepared the fx schedule for the show. The following three months I supervised the fx side of the show whilst maintaining a hands on approach. Hugo was successfully delivered in 2011 and won the Academy award for best visual effects.
