Visualization is the best communicator.

Meta-skilled visual systems across film, screens and live events.

I work across visual planning, live production and custom software. My job is to understand the creative intent, solve the technical challenges and find a practical way forward.

Custom production tools

Solve the problem. Build the tool.

Building production software where existing tools leave expensive gaps in the workflow.

Core practice

Previs, Techvis, Postvis, Concept

Mapping, VP support, on-set visualization, event design and technical feasibility.

Background

30+ years in live production

Production Manager, Advisor and A/V/L/S Technician across touring, theatre, public events and corporate work.

Custom AI & production tools

I build the tools the workflow is missing.

Forward-deployed engineering: identify the production problem, build the tool, put it to work.

RenderNode

Local AI production workspace / In development

Generative AI.
Production context.

A local AI production workspace being developed for filmmakers, previs and postvis artists. Image and video generation, reference assets, shot organisation and render management in one interface.

Local processing

Supported workflows run on your own hardware, keeping footage and references under your control.

Production organisation

Characters, environments, shots, references and results stay connected within each project.

Creative flexibility

Different models, workflows and LoRAs support different visual tasks.

Traceable iteration

Saved prompts, settings and outputs make versions easier to compare and reproduce.

Artist-focused workflow

A unified interface makes complex AI tools more accessible during visual development.

A practical bridge between generative AI and everyday film production. Under active development; continuity and precise camera control remain areas of ongoing testing.

Recce3D

Camera-aware planning inside scanned locations.

Place assets, work with production camera presets, build and recall shots, annotate, measure and export a scene for review without requiring specialist 3D software.

Selected work

Feature film, visualization and production support.

Previs, techvis, stuntvis and postvis for feature films and television.

Feature film

Alien: Romulus

Previs / Techvis / Stuntvis / Postvis

Part of the Oscar-nominated VFX crew. Visual planning from the first camera move through to postvis.

Television / Apple TV+

Murderbot

Previs / Techvis / Postvis / Stuntvis

Eleven months on season one, working across visual planning, technical visualization and stuntvis. Season two: previs.

Seasons 01 + 02
Feature film

Predator:
Badlands

Previs / Postvis

Extensive previs and postvis work, connecting early visual planning with the evolving film.

Visual planning / Production support
Feature film

The First Omen

Previs

Previsualization for a very different visual register. Exploring shots and sequences before the shoot.

Skills

What the meta-skill actually covers.

The work changes shape depending on what a production needs: plan the image, make it technically possible, then keep the job moving.

Events

Selected work across stage, screens, events and corporate.

Projection mapping, event simulation, digital set design, touring and site-based visual systems.

Experience

Film and television on one side, live production on the other.

The current film work builds on a much longer background in touring, theatre, events and technical production.
