he knew he should take his umbrella
but he didn’t
and it rained
and he got wet
but it didn’t matter
in his mind he wasn’t getting wet
he was just there
a part of everything
a distant figure in the background
or someone you could bump into

Work is busy as always! Currently working the new instalment of Sherlock Holmes by Guy Ritchie. The trailer came out last week and it has a few of the shots we are working on. Right now I'm working on the first stage of one of the most important sequences of the movie with 4 other artists. Can't say more about it now but it's amazing!

A decade, a generation and we can finally say goodbye to Harry Potter. It’s an epic finale to a very long journey that seemed will never end. The movie begins with the last final minutes of Part I where Voldemort open’s Dumbledore’s grave to steal his wand which I think was a good opening. The story goes very fast from there on as there’s much to be told and rhythm keeps the audience on their toes, it’s a roller coaster.
Just back from the Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows Part 2 cast and crew screening. Packed theatre in London's Leicester Square where the world première will be held as well. David Yates the director said a few words accompanied by the executive producers before we began our last journey into J.K Rowling's world. It was an epic finale indeed!

We delivered 110 shot sof which I was ...Read more
Sometimes, decisions we make don’t work out the way we want, and sometimes we even know that, but nevertheless they need to be made, and when it’s done just the fact that it’s made gives us a little peace of mind, it’s like putting your feet into a cold water on a hot summer day for a few minutes, that rush of cold touching your skin.
I’m a big fan of the digital era! The convenient, speed and the access are only very basic advantages of Digital and I don’t think we’ll ever go back. That’s not to say I don’t value how things were. The fact is what we used to experience before everything evolved into a few clicks here and there was unique and quite intimate. No digital display and stylus can replace the feeling of pen and paper. The paper’s texture and how the pen moves are engraved into our deepest memories. I guess the future generations who haven’t had these ex...Read more
