Field notes
The portfolio documents production systems at the level of hardware, software, crew workflow, and timing. One case study describes an iPad controlling fourteen iPhones while naming files to the slate and sending takes to iCloud; another describes point-cloud capture calibrated in under sixty seconds between takes. The page also includes lighting studies in Unreal Engine and a separate Gen AI workflow section.
