Lighting Artist

Ghost in the Shell was my first show at MPC, where I worked as a Lighting Artist contributing to the film’s distinct visual style. I was responsible for some of the light rig setup, render optimization, and compositing slap comps using advanced layering techniques. A key part of my work involved matching plates and integrating CG assets seamlessly into the live-action footage. I also focused on shaping the lighting for the thermoptic suit with irradiance, ensuring it interacted believably with the environment while maintaining its unique reflective qualities.
