The Mandalorian – Season 2
Shortly after leading the Virtual Art Department on The Mandalorian Season 1, I returned for Season 2, but this time I was supervising the production.
Over the several months in pre-production I hosted and ran virtual location scouts, guiding key creatives through the sets in and out of VR. Also introduced new departments to the design process in Unreal Engine, helping them navigate a new way of working.
My team handled photogrammetry, asset development, and lighting, translating concept art into fully explorable digital sets.
We also captured real-world set dressing to ensure continuity between physical and virtual, streamlining production and cross-department handoffs.
