project.overview

I worked as the main Lead Compositor for the live action version of Moana at ILM Sydney during the first 10 months of the project.

This project is still in production, so I can't share too many details yet. However, I can say that it involved a variety of challenging VFX sequences, including water simulations, island environments, and character integration. As Lead Compositor, I was responsible for overseeing the compositing team, ensuring quality control, and developing tools to streamline our workflow.
