Going fully virtual production for the @generalmotors 2022 CES keynote, introducing the Silverado EV. With LED floor, ceiling, and walls powered by Unreal, it became as simple as place vehicle, push button, change locations.

I also consulted on these virtual sets ahead of time to tweak lighting and scenery in Unreal, which is a super fun process playing in a virtual space. BTS video link for these shoots available in bio.

Showcasing the interior of the @GMC Denali Ultimate 2022 with @arnettwill. I could listen to that gravelly voice all day. And even though I hadn’t yet discovered the @smartless podcast when we filmed this, I’m glad he took the opportunity to plug it in this project because it’s both informative and hilarious.

All available light, no augmentation other than moving practicals/opening shades, etc. Sometimes it’s a fun challenge to see what you can do with minimal gear/crew.

Arcane: Bridging the Rift Part 5/5 - “We Gave it Our Best Shot” 

All the feels are accounted for in this final episode as Arcane’s creators drop the show in one big worldwide streaming bang coinciding with a Riot campus star-studded spectacle. Along the way we reveal more mind-blowing truths and tricks about sound design than you would ever think possible.

It’s been an honor and a pleasure covering this show. Not only have they been recognized with Emmy’s and Annie’s on their first big project out of the gate, but the whole Arcane team is so deadly talented and passionate, it’s been inspiring at every turn hanging with them. Persistence is everything.

Arcane: Bridging the Rift Part 4/5

From a first-time series composer recording a full orchestra at @teldexstudio Studio in Germany, to an all-original album featuring artists such as @theofficialsting, @woodkidmusic, @imaginedragons, @thisispvris, @denzelcurryph and many more, the music for Arcane is nothing less than a monumental achievement.

This 30-minute peak at the team behind the tunes is available to watch now on YouTube.

Arcane: Bridging the Rift
Part 3/5 - “KILLSTREAKS meet KEYFRAMES”

This episode explores the brilliant and innovative animation process of the Arcane team at @fortiche_prod with a peak at the voice talent along the way.

The first image was captured in-camera using a desk mirror the animators use to study their own facial expressions as they keyframe character emotions by hand.

Arcane: Bridging the Rift - Part 1 of 5 of a documentary series I recently had the pleasure of shooting and directing for @RiotGames. The series explores the unlikely story of bringing the League of Legends video game adaptation, Arcane, from just a dream to Netflix’s highest rated show of all time.

This one was a rare pleasure in that we got to peak behind the curtain at artists at the top of their field and absolutely in love with their craft. Neither the Paris-based animation studio, Fortiche, nor LA-based producer, Riot Games, had made content much longer than a few minute music videos, but they trusted each other and never gave up. I could tell right away that this show was going to break new ground in the world of animation, and I’m grateful to be able to tell their inspiring story.

The documentary series will be released in 5 parts every Thursday on YouTube. You can see the first episode now (link in bio).

A few more stills from my recent shoot with the upcoming @GMC Hummer EV. This time was about the SUV model (vs the truck), which was a lovely shade of matte green. And I got to try out the new @angenieuxlenses Primes for this first image, which are beautiful full frame lenses.

I had some fun recently filming the new Hummer EV for @GMC. It’s still under development, but fascinating to see what a capable electric vehicle it will be. Here are some screen grabs from the Yuma proving grounds with both drone (@reddigitalcinema DSMC2 w/ Angenieux 15-40) and camera car (Polaris RZR with @Sony Venice and @fujinonlenses Premista 28-100).
