    paper Aberrant

    Devin Flores’ Aberrant is the second production shot on Columbia’s LED Volume Stage. As VP Supervisor I helped design the environments displayed on screen and coordinated between physical and virtual departments to ensure the striking gothic world came to life perfectly.

    On set I had to develop workflows to this end, like calling out the values of RGB lighting fixtures to match on the virtual environment, and creating level snapshots to quickly swap between versions of the same set.

    Coming soon, footage available on my reel on https://www.twine.net/signin

    paper What Remains


    What Remains was the first production shot on Columbia’s LED Volume stage. Serving as the sole member of the post-department and part of the virtual team meant I had to quickly learn how to work with the screen and what looks best on camera. I had figure out perspective, make quick environmental changes, and design the animated intro sequence on the fly. Then in post I had to develop methods of covering visual errors like banding or pixellation that can come from when focus on the screen isn’t quite right.

    paper Hula Soup

    Neo Shen’s 2025 MFA Thesis required a deft hand maintaining consistency between several locations, times of day, and time periods within its 20 minute span. The look also needed to balance a naturalism that highlighted the rawness of the story, and an intensity to match the emotions of the characters
    As finishing artist I married picture and sound, placed the captions according to both creative and technical specifications, and produced multiple deliverables for different fesitvals.
