Enjoyed running this VP & volume operator skills workshop showing some of the latest workflows at the @quitebrilliant volume at @twickenhamstudios

A good old dive into the on-set layering tools in @assimilateinc LiveFX for live adjustments & layeringon the wall - and was attended by quite the elite bunch of curious & savvy ops & supes - thanks to all who came!

This was a cool vp demo shoot I supervised last year, working with DoP @ianmurraydop , using the volume for atmospheric backlighting & glow, at @filmsoho @vstudiosoho mixing real fire, with virtual fire & and Mimiks for IBL 🔥

Bit of fun here demonstrating 3D virtual control at @vstudiosoho @filmsoho ;)

a peek at my latest ‘vp ready environments’ ( supervisor approved! ping me for info ). This one built in collab with @loucoomberdesign. Now in 2026, volume shooting is becoming simpler, refined & instantly controllable. Finally how it’s meant to be!

Pleasure to be the VP Supervisor for this immersiveinterview shoot at Film Soho @vstudiosoho ! Blending the set to the background location photography was a fun challenge for the multiple camera angles & placing fire in shots. Crack team: VP Operator @christopherjorna VP Technician @raiyana.h & more..

Another day at the office! Our virtual production team is having fun in the V Studio testing out the revolving stage for car process. Big thanks for the plates @igelkottstudios , playing smoothly on our @assimilateinc media server 🔥

Cool to see a mention of our new Volume setup at @filmsoho VStudio in @britishcinematographer mag. Proud to say we’ve designed & installed a highly refined VP stage at this one for car process, dialog pickups & commercials - plus car turntable, 360 plates playback, wireless multicam tracking & next gen control. And superb team in there too. Roll on the first shoot next week!

Been awesome to be able to set up and spec up the volume at Film Soho - really pushing the workflows & capabilities @filmsoho

Excited to announce I’m starting a new role as a Freelance Virtual Production Supervisor - with my new service co Boosh Virtual! TM tbc ;)

The past year and a bit I’ve supervised a number of Volume shoots and demos working with the lovely crew at Final Pixel - where I had the privilege of establishing the WorldBuilders VAD team. (A bunch of talented and super lovely folks - do check out their work, some of it below!).

For the next chapter, I’ll be supervising Volume shoots around the UK & Europe, working with Designers & DPs, advising Producers on the best stages or tech for their project, and ensuring quality volume operation, crew and blending is delivered to the highest technical quality. Feel free to reach out for your project's needs, consulting or advice - (currently avail mid July on).

Looking back, here’s a few fun snippets from shoots the past year and a bit, shot at ARRI-CT, Pinewood Sony | Professional Europe, Garden Studios, CUBE Studio, RD Studios, Silvertown Studios, Teleport Studios Ltd, XPLOR and of course Final Pixel! Shout to all the Unreal peeps who worked on these. More posts coming to highlight the skill artists making this all happen! Clips here thanks to Scan Computers, Final Pixel Academy, ScreenSkills, Anthony Rubinstein, Max Hartwig-Green, Zara Balfour, my iPhone and SMPTE United Kingdom Section.
