Stuck on
a shot?
A conversation between artists · English or Portuguese
The Consumption of the FleshPersonal · 2025
The deadline is close, the shot still won't sit in the footage and you've run out of things to try. If you'd like a second pair of eyes, send it over and we'll look at it together.
I open your project before we talk. Then, on a call, we go through it and work out what's wrong, what can be fixed in the time you have and what can't. Sometimes it's one setting. Sometimes the shot needs a different approach. Either way, I'll tell you honestly.
It's a conversation between artists, not a course and not a promise of miracles.

How it goes
- You send the project, a preview and what the director is asking for
- I look at it before we talk
- One hour call, inside your project, recorded
- Written notes the next day
After the call
- One more question by message, within a week
- If the director still says no, a short second look
- Everything wraps up within two weeks
What you take away
- A clear idea of what to do next
- The recording and the notes
- A color and passes setup you can reuse, when it helps
Where I can help
- Light and plate matching
- Color and ACES
- Look and shading
- Passes, render and comp
- 01It floats. Scale, sun direction, shadow and contact.
- 02The color comes out washed. Log footage, ACES, and a conversion done twice.
- 03The track slides. Frame rate, lens distortion, a start frame that doesn't line up.
- 04It reads as plastic. Material scale, specular, and the light around it.
- 05The reflection shows another place.
- 06No set data. No HDRI, no grey ball, and the shot still has to match.
- 07Renders too slow to try anything.
- 08The review keeps coming back with the same notes. Edges, grain, black levels.
Send me the shot, the software you're using and what's going wrong. If it's something I can help with, I'll reply with a time to talk. If it isn't, I'll say so, and maybe point you to someone who can.
One session is US$ 350, or R$ 1.100 in Brazil, paid before the call.
FX simulation, rigging and modeling are outside what I cover. If you'd rather hand the shot over, that's freelance work and I can quote it.

- 3DCinema 4D, Solaris or Maya
