AFK
Away From Keyboard
Project Overview
AFK is a short film project where I contributed across on-set production and post-production 2D VFX. My role focused on ensuring technical accuracy during filming and delivering clean, production-ready shots in post.
On-Set Supervision
During the shoot, I worked closely with the director and 2D lead, assisting with camera setup and maintaining consistent camera settings across all shots. I helped troubleshoot on-set issues as they arose, ensuring the shoot stayed on schedule and that plates were captured correctly for post-production.
Plate Preparation
All plates were prepared with and without lens distortion to ensure flexibility in post. This allowed the VFX pipeline to move efficiently, with shots ready for immediate use by both the team and myself.
2D VFX & Shot Work
I worked on multiple shots requiring heavy cleanup, roto, and tracking. My focus was on maintaining clean edges, accurate motion, and seamless integration across sequences.
Team Coordination
I stayed in regular communication with the animation team to track progress on dependent assets, prioritising urgent shots that needed to be completed within tight deadlines.
