🧵1/5: Now with #Andor S1 wrapped, I wanted to breakdown how grateful I am to be part of the creative process, specifically the multiple times I luckily worked on Death Star related shots. And it got me thinking about the generational aspect of visual effects.

As virtual production crew on set, we rarely get to talk w/ folks about how the volume affects their role. Hearing how much better actors prefer this over greenscreen makes it worth it. Our @ILMVFX StageCraft crew in LA has been killing it on both #ObiWanSeries & #TheMandalorian

This was one of my favorite scenes to play with, every move of the camera exposed a completely different lighting setup that I had to quickly color correct the digital environment to the practical. The pressure was immense but the results were worth it.

#RogueOne has a distinct look & style that I constantly refer to in VFX. Most of that is due to the outstanding cinematography of @GreigFraser_dp . I've had the honor of working alongside Greig on #TheMandalorian & #TheBatman Everything I've learned from him is priceless 👇

It's so easy to get jaded and pessimistic in the VFX industry, especially when you've been doing it for over a decade. But there are days where I just pinch myself and can't believe what I'm doing. This is def one of those days #grateful #vfx #setlife

Season 1 of Mandalorian was an absolute dream team, and being able to work with @JeffJWebster and his team of talented gaffers was a treat. Jeff gave a super detailed breakdown of the Volume and it's uses here:

@tvaziri Walking up to the Volume, @Bazidoine pulls me to the side w/ the original Cantina scene from New Hope up on his laptop. He tells me make what's up on the LEDs look like the original. *gulp!* all that's real was the bar and actors/droids. I had like 5 mins 🙃
