While at Sandbox F/X, I got the opportunity to work on many different projects. My main focus in 2022 was The Independent which starred Jodie Turner-Smith, Brian Cox, and John Cena. The film was released on Peacock TV in the fall of 2022. Most work was screen compositing as well as clean-up/reflection removal. One particular challenge that allowed me to flex my skills was removing rain from a scene filmed outside.

The second project of 2022 is Paramount's Organ Trail. This project was interesting to work on as much of the work was removing modern technology. I also got to have some fun with small CGI explosions and gunshots.

The last project I worked on was Creed III. Most work was roto, tracking, and object removal in preparation for CG stadiums to be composited in fight scenes.

In my second year with Sandbox, I wasn't able to work on as many films due to the strikes but nonetheless was challenged with more complex shots. I focused on Road House (2024) specifically on incorporating a CGI bus and cars into establishing shots.

This was an incredible opportunity and I cannot thank John Nugent (VFX Supervisor & Founder), Wendy Gipp (House Producer), and Jay Laline (Sr. Compositing Artist) enough for the opportunity and support they have given me. I also want to thank Sandbox F/X and Peacock TV, for allowing me to use the footage that made the reel below possible.

If you'd like to contact Wendy or John please feel free to through the Sandbox F/X website.

Built curriculum and exercise materials to develop student post-production skills. Focused on utilizing Adobe After Effects to complete VFX tasks to industry standards. Teaching both in person and through video chat, students gained the understanding and practice of professional workflow to incorporate in their own projects as well as break into the post-production industry.
