Create Impossible

Blending the digital with the physical. Whether it’s removing unwanted objects from a shot or integrating 3D elements into live-action footage, I provide seamless VFX that enhances the viewer’s reality.

Uses

Object Removal & Clean-up: Removing wires, logos, or distractions.

Matchmoving & Tracking: Placing 3D objects perfectly into moving footage.

Green Screen Compositing: Swapping backgrounds for realistic environments.

The Process

Step 0: Pre-Shoot Discussion

If possible, reach out before your shoot. This can allow me to get an understanding of your needs, and make improvements to your shoot that can save post production time.

Step 1: The Debrief

We discuss your requirements, files, mood boards, and style.

Step 2: Look Development

I’ll send static style frames to confirm the shots, color palette, and level of detail matches your vision and brand.

Step 3: Animation

Ill animate any 2D/3D elements to match the original footage.

Step 4: Compositing

Clean up any footage, integrate 3D assets with lighting and grain, and then final composite with lens effects.

Depending on the scope and timeline of the project, you can expect to receive at least one preview in this step – just to ensure I’m on the right track and as an opportunity for you to provide feedback.

Step 5: Final Delivery

You receive a high quality, ready to use file (ProRes, MP4, or your preferred file type).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions:

On average, a 60-second animated graphic takes between 1 to 6 weeks from the initial debrief to final delivery. This allows time for storyboarding, feedback cycles, sound design, and render time. Simpler projects can be done in as little as 24-48hrs. If you have a tighter deadline, let me know and we can discuss options or simplifying the visual style.

I can work with what you have! If you already have a script and recorded VO, I can jump straight into storyboarding. If you’re starting from scratch, I can assist with script development and help source professional voice talent that fits your brand’s tone.

Absolutely! During the storyboarding phase, I focus on integrating your brand’s color palette, typography, and tone. Whether you need the video to feel like an extension of your brand or a completely new cinematic experience, we establish that look together before any animation begins.

My process is designed to prevent any surprise results. I typically include two rounds of major revisions: one at the Storyboard/Style Frame stage and one after the first full animation draft. This ensures we are aligned on the vision at each stage throughout the process. Minor tweaks are normally not charged as a revision.

The standard delivery is a high-bitrate 4K or 1080p MP4 (H.264) optimized for web and social media and a .mov optimized for editing into your timeline. If you need specific formats, just let me know during the debrief and I'll deliver in that codec.

Project files can be included.

Once the final payment is made, you own the full usage rights to the final rendered video. I retain the right to showcase the work in my portfolio (unless we have a signed NDA).
