    paper The Strangers Chapter 2

    Upcoming sequel. Work involved similar tasks as the ones from the first film. There was more gore work in this one as well as a green screen sequence derived from a film location from the first film that was reconstructed in a soundstage for the second.

    paper The Strangers Chapter 1

    Horror film from 2024. I was hired to do various VFX tasks. I removed brands and production gear from shots, bluescreen work including DI mattes for further background integration, phone screen inserts and fluid morph transitions. Later down the line I removed certain characters from shots after some reediting happened.
