I worked on Skeleton Crew as a Computer Graphics Supervisor at ILM. I had the pleasure of helping shape a project that mixes the handmade spirit of classic adventure films with sophisticated modern VFX technology.

The series follows four children who become lost after making a mysterious discovery on their apparently safe home planet. We combined detailed environments, creatures, ships, matte paintings, practical elements, and StageCraft virtual production techniques to make that galaxy feel expansive, tactile, and full of surprises.

We had one clear goal: make all those different techniques feel like one coherent, inviting world.
