About

​

I am a passionate and innovative filmmaker specializing in real-time storytelling and motion capture. With a strong foundation in Unreal Engine 5, Blender, and motion capture systems, I bring characters and worlds to life through a blend of creativity and cutting-edge technology.

​

My work focuses on adapting compelling narratives, such as my animated short film inspired by Dulce et Decorum Est, which explores moral ambiguity and trauma through real-time animation. I have extensive experience in body and facial motion capture, integrating performances into real-time art forms and pushing the boundaries of traditional filmmaking.

Highlights of my experience include:

​

  • Introducing motion capture workflows into live performances during the National Youth Theatre Digital Accelerator Program, where I facilitated creative projects using real-time technology.

  • Crafting immersive and thought-provoking stories that merge historical themes with modern technology.

  • Collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams on both academic and professional projects to deliver innovative results.

​

My goal is to pioneer the evolving role of a Technical Director, blending storytelling, technology, and innovation to redefine how stories are told in the digital age.
