METAVERSES
I started overseeing teams creating browser based 3D worlds using Unity and WebGL in 2019 with Deloitte Digital. For OEM Content, we created a world for Netflix, showcasing 3D and UX. In 2021, I worked on Unreal Pixel Streaming with Pixel Canvas creating metaverses that can support thousands of users.
VIRTUAL PRODUCTION
PerfectoVerse, a 72-minute concert film was a ground-breaking production that combined green screen, volumetric capture and motion capture based on the design elements and story. Winner of a Gold Telly Award and innovative film to showcase the future of crossover 3D technology by being nominated by both the Producers Guild of America film and a Webby award for the WebGL online fan engagement.
AI AND METAHUMANS
We used metahumans combined with motion capture and green screen of real actors to create photo realistic experiences. We are now looking at bring this together with AI and local LLMs to create personalized fan experiences.

A NEW WAY TO CREATE CONTENT
Meet Gina
Gina is an “artificial” person that will soon be in a beverage commercial coming out in 2024. She is a MetaHuman, she can be placed into the Unreal Game Engine for movies, games, and even customer service chat bots.
Our experiences can be with Unity (WebGL) or Unreal Pixel Streaming. When we combine our Virtual Production with our metahumans in an online experience, that is when the real magic happens.
The “Story of Hip Hop” will be our first vision of that.
