VFX PRODUCTION DESIGNER
From the start of the project, in early pre-production, I cooperate closely with the director, VFX supervisor and director of photography to establish the visual feel and specific aesthetic needs of the project, giving it a shape the right look and a personality.
VFX ART DIRECTOR
I conceptualize and design the vfx shots in order to establish a unified visual appearance to the movie. Keeping an eye on small details, which give great value to a project, I direct and supervise the creative part of the vfx shots throughout the full production process.
ON SET PHOTOGRAPHY
I take care on set about the many aspects of photography, from green or blue-screen shooting, live action plates, aerial and underwater, digital doubles and digital extras, portrait, textures, surface, panoramic and HDRI photography.
PROJECT BASED RESEARCH
I can provide different kinds of material, references and look development for previz, 3D modeling, texturing, matte-painting and the comp department. My private library includes original and antique books, blueprints and natural disaster related digital material.
GREG'S PHOTOGRAPHY
My personal approach to "seeing" things. With my photography I pursue the truth that comes by solving the conflict arousing form opposing forces by reconciling them in a balanced image. Entertainment, fashion, commercial, advertising, portraits, military and civil aviation.

Interview about real time rendering in keyshot
The sky cracked open, spilling light against the dusted air and silvery layers of the ancient creature’s luminous membrane.
