Working with Thileepan has been a pleasure. Better yet - I alerted them of a minor issue before going to sleep. The issue was fixed the next morning. I couldn't ask for better support. Thank you Thileepan! This is easily a 5 star freelancer.
Industrial Light & Magic, London (ILM)
Achieved industry-level expertise in Matchmove and Layout and contributed to the successful delivery of high-profile feature films. My responsibilities involved creating and refining cinematic layouts, ensuring continuity and camera accuracy for seamless integration of CG elements into live-action footage. At ILM, I developed a comprehensive understanding of the VFX pipeline and honed my skills using industry-standard tools.
Key achievements and responsibilities included:
- Camera Tracking and Matchmoving: Solved complex camera moves and calculated lens distortion on spherical and anamorphic plates using ILM’s proprietary software Zeno.
- Match-Animation: Tracked and match-animated objects and actors, using witness cameras where available, to recreate accurate live-action performances within the CG environment.
- On-Set Data: Effectively utilized on-set information, including lens specifications, camera details, and reference materials, to enhance accuracy and efficiency in camera solving.
- Proxy Modeling: Modeled proxy set geometry in the absence of LIDAR, using photogrammetry to support camera solves and provide environments for animators and technical directors.
- Layout: Adjusted camera and asset positions to meet client briefs and pre-visualizations, ensuring seamless integration within sequences.
- CG Camera Animation: Originated entirely CG camera animation and blocked out scenes, setting up downstream departments for success.
- Collaborative Problem Solving: Worked closely with production and supervision teams to deliver high-quality work within tight deadlines.
