VFX Shooting assistant

With niche experience in visual effects work on natural history focused VFX, Beth has gained experience in data wrangling, drone operating and camera operating/assisting worldwide in a wide variety of habitats, locations and also a range of studio settings. She thoroughly enjoys being able to bring an innovative edge to productions by utilising her technical expertise in camera based technology. This expertise includes these key skills:

LiDAR operating and processing (specific knowledge in Leica systems).
VFX forward cinematographer (drone and camera).
Ricoh Theta data capture (360 and HDRI).
Aerial and ground based photogrammetry capture and processing.
Witness camera and narration.
General data acquisition (colour chart/chrome ball/slate).
Lens/camera gridding.
Kit management and maintenance.
VFX DIT.
Blue/green screen work.
3D model use.
Cohesion between the production and the visual effects team.

By offering this role as a VFX Shooting Assistant employed by the production rather than outsourcing a data wrangler to the visual effects company, Beth enables cohesion across shoots as well as the added expertise of natural history, with additional drone operating and camera operating/assisting if needed. Beth was employed in this role for the Netflix series The Dinosaurs, which was found to be most valuable to the production and workflow between Silverback Films and Industrial Light & Magic.

Importantly, I'm excited by innovation within natural history and environmental storytelling. Visual effects is a brilliant way to captivate our evolving audiences and portray stories otherwise untold!
