The Chalk VFX

~ about ~

Thomas

I am a Visual Effects Artist focused on creating photoreal imagery grounded in the behavior of the physical world. My work draws on a deep understanding of light, environment, and spatial relationships — combining technical precision with artistic restraint to produce images that feel natural rather than constructed.

Experienced across the full pipeline, I contribute wherever a shot demands it: capturing HDRI and environment data, filming elements when needed, and carrying work through post with an emphasis on seamless integration and visual coherence. My approach is deliberate and detail-driven, shaped by the belief that the strongest effects are the ones the audience never notices.

Comfortable working independently or alongside established teams, I support projects that prioritize craft, clarity, and cinematic storytelling.

Planning

Every project begins with observation. I study light, texture, scale, and movement before a camera is ever turned on. Whether I’m capturing HDRI for image-based lighting or scanning real-world environments to build dimensional assets, my goal is to understand a space deeply enough to recreate it with authenticity. Strong planning allows creative risks later — because the foundation is grounded in reality.

Production

My background in cinematography allows me to move fluidly between the physical and digital worlds. On set or on location, I capture the data that makes visual effects believable — lighting references, environment scans, textures, and practical footage when needed. I occasionally film original content and for select clients in the medical and health/wellness feilds, approaching cinematography with the same attention to natural light and composition that guides my VFX work. Production is where intuition and technical discipline meet.

Post-Production

Post is where everything converges. Drawing on a deep understanding of lighting, spatial relationships, and photoreal integration, I shape images that feel seamless rather than constructed. My process balances precision with artistry — refining details, matching environments, and building shots that support the story without calling attention to the technique behind them.
