Tools and workflows I've developed for real productions
A custom VFX review site built for the Goldfish short film. The whole team uploads shot versions and comments in one place, with all file management handled automatically. It's connected to Claude over MCP and linked to Higgsfield, so new shots can be generated straight through Claude and land directly in the review system.
Visit the platform →Developed on Find My Phone: a VFX workflow that replaces green screen and LED volumes with a plain white wall, built on AI keying and ComfyUI. Presented the findings at an Epic Games event in January 2026, and now continuing the R&D as part of the Fivefold / UKRI AI & VP project.
Direct the shot in Unreal, let AI handle the photoreal. A tool-agnostic pipeline that restyles low-fidelity Unreal renders into photoreal video while preserving camera, composition and motion. Built three ways in parallel (proprietary APIs, partner infrastructure, and local open weights) and compared on the same scenes, so the findings still hold when the models change.

First and foremost, I'm a storyteller. A storyteller that innovates.
Each project I do, I build new cutting-edge workflows and techniques to realize the creative vision.
For example: Low Power Mode.
As a kid I never understood how I could listen to my favourite band, the Black Eyed Peas, without them being in the room with me. The only thing that made sense was that a tiny version of them must be in my cable. That sparked the idea for the Low Power Mode universe: a world where tiny people live inside your phone.
I wanted to tell that story as my masters film. But how? How do you tell a big sci-fi idea on a student budget?
Virtual production.
But where do I learn it? I hunted for practitioners, found the people actually using this tech at big film conventions, and with my little notebook I interrogated them. I used all that knowledge to create my award winning film, Low Power Mode.
I didn't stop there. I kept innovating: an AI sizzle reel, an interactive website, and a new VFX technique, the white wall technique. Now I'm building this concept into a transmedia universe.
This dedication to innovate to tell the story, plus my tech abilities, got noticed. I started getting booked freelance on virtual production sets, flown out to Saudi, Wales and Spain to operate VP stages for clients such as Netflix and ITV.
