Excited to share my work on MAX’s The White Lotus Season 3 title sequence.
Color grading and animating this piece was a deep dive into subtle texture, movement, and tone. The rich aesthetic of Thai temple art sets the stage for the season, and every detail from the palette to the motion was carefully crafted to bring that vision to life.
Huge shoutout to Plains of Yonder for their incredible work on this. Grateful to have been part of it and excited to see the rest of the season unfold.

Proud to have graded the main title for HBO’s Dune: Prophecy. A stunning piece that shows what happens when storytelling and design work in perfect sync.
This one was a treat for several reasons. First, because I got to see how @filmographla crafts a sequence layered with meaning, symbolism, and visual poetry. Second, because it went through a film-out at @fotokem_la , which added an incredible texture to the final piece. And last but not least, because I got to collaborate again with my friend Aaron Becker and his partners Seth Kleinberg and Troy Miller.
Every time I rewatch it, I catch something new, which is a testament to their artistry.
Big thanks to the team for bringing me on board.

Our color specialist @patchpreset is already hard at work creating a LUT based on The Birth of Venus, by Botticelli! 🎨 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s been a while, but I’m gonna try posting again to leave a little marker of these strange times. And to say I feel quite lucky to be sheltering in place with this lovely human.
I was heart broken to learn yesterday that the world lost a truly brilliant mind. Dr. Micheal Persinger spent the last half century doing ground breaking scientific research on the brain, consciousness, and all nature of interesting unusual phenomena. He was a true maverick, persevering in his research and teaching despite countless roadblocks.
Brad and I were incredibly lucky to spend some hours interviewing him, entangled with his massive intellect. He’s had a lasting impact on my life and I know he’s inspired countless others. It’s very sad he's gone but I know he won’t soon be forgotten.
If you aren't familiar, I highly recommend looking up his lectures on youtube. “No More Secrets” is a fun one.
