Whatever Ray is up to now
I’ve been working as an editor and VFX artist on films, series and commercials for over 30 years. Not exactly your average summer blockbuster, perhaps, but always fun, challenging and a great excuse to keep making things.
As a creative person, I also like venturing into unfamiliar territory. I’ve always loved being able to say, “I made my own…” — whether that’s an EP, a miniature, a weird little gadget, or even an actual board game.
So rather than making yet another VFX showreel site, I decided to make this a showcase of the things I’ve created along the way — from the first pixel to the final piece.
Featured Games project 01 / 05
A two-player, hex-based board game inspired by Star Control II — rules, art, chits, rulebook and box all made by hand. Only one copy exists.
Featured Miniatures project 02 / 05
A birthday gift full of solid purple and beige plastic, turned into my very first painted miniatures — heroes, villains and a squad of Snake Men.
Featured Displays project 03 / 05
A hexagonal, LED-lit display case for 26 hand-painted Star Control II ships, built so every model can be lifted off and used as a board game piece.
Featured Music project 04 / 05
Tracker songs written in high school in 1998, revived twenty years later and turned into a concept E.P. built around the classic Hammer Horror Dracula films.
Featured VFX project 05 / 05
Two decades of compositing and VFX supervision — from Peter Greenaway’s Tulse Luper Suitcases to Zombibi, Popoz and a Star Wars short. The skills behind everything else on this site.
