I make stuff and I put it on this website so I don’t forget.

Filmbox & Scatter

Software product2021Completed

Me and my friend Greg made “state of the art” motion picture film emulation and optical diffusion emulation tools for DaVinci Resolve.

Cinematography

Hobby?2009 —

Sometimes I shoot commercials and narrative shorts.

TetraVision

Multispectral cinema camera2020Working v2 prototype

Dual-sensor cinema camera for capturing RGB and 1000nm infrared image data simultaneously with a single lens, and a color pipeline for fusing “RGBI” data into a full color image with a very unique photometric response. (Especially useful for movies set on the moon.)

Visual Effects

Career?2010 — 2022Retired

I used to do VFX supervising, compositing, and CGI for music videos, commercials, and narrative shorts. I put John Cena on the Titanic and cut Doja Cat in half and then said to myself “My work here is done”.

Color Grading

Career?2010 — 2023Retired

I used to color grade commercials, comedy specials, docs, and narrative things.

OPTAR

Hardware product2021 —Concept

I want to make this hyper-simple all-manual square-format digital camera with Filmbox integration and infrared capabilities, and maybe also improve on digital photo frames. But apparently it’s not easy to bring complex consumer electronics to market.

Untitled cabin film

Short film2019Incomplete

Part camera test, part spy thriller? It’s almost done, it just needs a CG moose.

I took a lot of piano lessons. This recording from 2007 is all I have to show.
