This page exhibits a selection of the shots I worked
on for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets whilst at
MILLFILM.
These include matchmoving and compositing work on many spider shots from
Aragog's hollow, floating candles in the Great Hall, the Sorting Hat and
Moaning Myrtle. I also worked on a range of other shots, often involving
a mixture of live action, model miniatures, CG and motion control.
