VIRTUAL PRODUCTION SUPERVISOR

I have worked in the film and advertising post-production and VFX industry for over 20 years. I started at UPP (2002) as a VFX junior compositor and throughout my career I have worked my way up through all the key professions to VFX Supervisor and VFX producer. I've always been into new technologies and that's why in 2018 I co-founded More.is.More, a company that deals with VR, AR and general realtime technologies, 3D scanning and then optimizing the data for realtime use. When we first saw MakingOf the Mandalorian project being filmed on YouTube, it was a logical step for us to try out Virtual Production technology with an LED wall. Based on this test

We got the project "Extraordinary Event",

which was the perfect case for this technology. We were very courageous despite not knowing the challenges of Virtual Production and the fact that we shot almost the entire film, which takes place on a train, using over 300m2 of LED wall in 10 shooting days was a great success and only afterwards did we learn that we were the first in Europe to manage such a large-scale project. News of this spread around the world and based on this we set up a company called VFXR to provide a turnkey Virtual Production service. Here we gathered a lot of experience and developed our own workflow. Anyway, VFXR didn't own any stable studio, so they only offered so-called PopUp. When we always built a stage only for a specific project. I have profiled myself as a Virtual Production Supervisor, as my whole professional life has been directed towards this point. I have greatly benefited from my work experience as a VFX Supervisor, Online Operator on commercials and also Grading Operator. I really enjoy the role of Virtual Production Supervisor as it is amazing to see the complex trick work that in the past was done many days after the shoot, straight in camera.
