Teaser for Virtual Camera Mimic
Virtual camera mimic
Virtual Camera Mimic is a revolutionary tool used in capturing High speed and Motion Control moments on screen - giving creatives more control than ever before when bringing highly stylized, cinematic shots to life! In summer of 2021 I helped test and develop this cutting edge technology from RiTE and Mark Roberts Motion Control.
FUTURE is NOW : Virtual production showcase
This 2023 holiday short film was designed to showcase the power of LED Volumetric production, and was shot all on stage, in one day. Co-directed by Ryan Monolopolus and Nika Tabidze. We fully simulated Piedmont park in Atlanta GA, with five unique and immersive weather conditions and seasons; and employed a range real time visual and practical effects.
The UNREAL LIFE : Stranded
The #unreal life : virtual production
In spring of 2020 I developed a series of narrative test cases w/ RiTE media for the newest Virtual Production technologies. This project merged tech from the UNREAL engine and LED backwall technology - then married it with motion control cameras. The result was a story brought to life in a way never before possible, bringing alien worlds down to earth (and on a budget!)
Phase One : Promo Video
Extended reality : Phase One
At the top 2018 I directed a concept w/ RiTE Media and MEPTIK: early tests of “Extended Reality” technology. The purpose was to integrate multiple technologies from motion picture and experiential. The virtual worlds are being effected by the stunt actors’ movements and rendered completely in REAL-TIME, which until recently was considered impossible. This first successful test opened new doors for future applications and innovations.
