On-Set VFX - Redhanded

Below are some of the projects I’ve worked on as On-set VFX:

Boy From Heaven (2022)

Violence of Action

Tigers

An on-set VFX supervisor’s job is to ensure that the live-action footage will play nicely with the visual effects in post production. This is primarily done by advising the DOP and director on the individual shots. But, you also take a bunch of reference photographs, HDRIs, notes and measurements that will help in the post production. (As a rule, you can’t take too many measurements or too many pictures as long as you don’t get in the way of the rest of the crew.)

Sometimes, you work for just a day on a commercial, other times it’s several weeks on a feature film. The hours are long and you can be waiting around for ages before a frantic burst of activity. It’s never dull.
You can find yourself inside an anonymous sound-stage in a nondescript suburb, but you are just as likely to be working in the most amazing places, such as a desert or the rooftop of a skyscraper.
