Editor by day. Director. Filmmaker. Interested in VFX and Post Production because it allows me to tell stories I wouldn't normally be able to tell. Screenwriting. Gaming is cool too. Word.
It's so crazy how many people say shit with such confidence and conviction, and then end up dead wrong.
That’s the internet for you…

Fuck it. I love nostalgia. Why stop at Polio? Let’s bring back the plague in time for the remake of #Nosferatu.

Adobe, why is this Substance plan so impossible to find? If you didn't know it existed, you'd think your only option is the $50/m plan. 🤨

Dear schools on LinkedIn, I don’t need a Masters Degree. Stop messaging me. In fact, in my industry, I’d probably be laughed at if I had a (useless) masters degree. Thanks for doing your research though.

The weather is not cooperating. Need another sunny day to shoot the rest of this video, but the VFX are basically done. Here's my Nuke "script"
Let me know if you have any questions!

Ok one final one before I change the look entirely. This one is done with all particles from #TyFlow instead of using geometry as the source for the main explosion

The desk setup. Replaced the #DavinciResolve Mini panel with a Micro. The Mini, as much as I love it, took up WAY too much desk space so this one is a nicer fit. #postchat #postproduction #postsky

Maybe it’s best not to talk business with most “creative” people. Apparently, you’re a bad person if you’re not broke. 🤷♂️

One of my biggest mistakes in freelancing is not knowing and acting when you outgrow a client. I’ve stuck around longer than I should have when signs started to show that they’re shifting in another direction and that direction doesn’t include you.

One of my favorite things about #AdobePremiere is the minimal lag/pause when you switch between multiple timelines. #DavinciResolve sometimes takes WAY too long. #Premiere used to be quicker than it currently is, but it’s still good. This helps me move almost as fast as the ideas hit me.
