CINEMATIC DESIGN
My Cinematic Journey
Holding on to my satchel and hat watching Indiana Jones escaping that massive rolling boulder,
falling off my seat as the T-rex burst through the gates in the pouring rain
and flipping the coffee table watching out-of-this-world slow motion fight scene between Neo and Agent Smith.
Cinema has been a pivotal part of my life, shaping me in ways I still find hard to comprehend.
As a child, I was often overlooked at school and had few friends, so I turned to stories, finding solace in watching them unfold on TV. Imagining worlds beyond our own, witnessing unforgettable performances, immersing myself in narratives where all I had to do was follow the action on screen convinced me that storytelling through images was my calling.
No matter the means, I am determined to tell stories through the lens of a camera.
Cinematic MArketing assets
Story Trailer
My role in the Star Wars Outlaws story trailer involved creating cinematic scenes that were challenging to capture within the game itself. Initially, my involvement was intended to create a few cinematic scenes and help export cutscenes from the game in high quality; however, the quality of the scenes my team and I produced led to an increased demand for additional scenes.
The trailer was edited by an external agency, so I was responsible for visualizing and creating scenes that seamlessly aligned with both the story and the overall edit.
I led all the aspects of my scenes, from pre-visualization to the final product. This involved:
• Blending animations to create seamless new animations
• Adjusting in-game lights and adding new light setups
• Adding and adjusting VFX
• Post-work to fix any issues

Our team at the Toronto Studio asked for support in creating
cinematic scenes to effectively transition between sections of the gameplay walkthrough.
I was responsible for creating and delivering all the scenes created to help bridge all sections of the walkthrough.
