PERFORMANCE CAPTURE & MOCAP TALENT
Bringing digital characters to life
When you bring me onto your project, you’re not just hiring another performance capture actor, you’re gaining a collaborator who translates direction into motion that’s authentic, expressive, and easy for animators and VFX teams to work with. Comfortable in mocap suits, markers, and volume stages, I hit marks easily, saving time on retakes.

A RARE SPECIALTY
Underwater motion capture skills.
I bring specialized aquatic skills for immersive digital characters due to my training in freediving and extended breath holds to perform underwater sequences safely while maintaining fluid, controlled movement beneath the surface.
I’m experienced translating underwater dynamics for both human and non-human characters, and comfortable working with safety divers, harnesses, and underwater cameras to ensure smooth, efficient, and secure performances.
This combination of underwater training and performance capture skill is rare — and it’s exactly what’s needed when a director asks for something otherworldly, animalistic, or not quite human.
