Where AI earns its place in a pipeline — and where it doesn't.
Advice from someone who has built the tools and run the shots through them. Engagements are scoped, senior-only, and delivered with code and IP handed over cleanly.
AI in production pipelines
An honest assessment of where generative and ML tools actually help a VFX or post pipeline, and where they cost more than they return. Then the practical integration work.
- ComfyUI and ControlNet integration inside existing workflows
- LoRA training for show-specific looks
- HDR / EXR-native generation that respects your colour pipeline
- Wire removal and cleanup tooling
- AI-assisted storyboarding
Local and private AI infrastructure
For clients who can't send material to public APIs. Self-hosted inference, graph-backed retrieval, and hybrid designs where a managed layer such as AWS Bedrock can be swapped in or out without rework.
- On-prem and hybrid inference architecture
- Graph-backed retrieval over your own material
- Model-agnostic layers, so nothing is locked to one vendor
Custom tool development
Bespoke software for the cases where nothing off the shelf fits. The software page is the evidence — production knowledge suites, image processing, asset management and editorial handoff, all built and running.

Presentations for studios, film schools and industry bodies on AI in VFX. The argument is consistent: AI as a force multiplier for skilled practitioners, not a substitute for them.
Scoped, senior, handed over clean.
Engagements are scoped up front with a defined deliverable — no open-ended retainers, no junior staff learning on your show. Senior-only, start to finish.
Code and IP are delivered cleanly, with ownership stated plainly up front — your counsel gets a straightforward agreement rather than a negotiation.
