From desert sands to underwater births. Had the incredible opportunity to tackle two unique pipelines for Apple TV+’s Prehistoric Planet: Procedural sand dune landscape timelapse simulations High-res fluid interaction for an underwater dinosaur birth Truly a dream project for pushing photorealistic FX boundaries.

Prehistoric Planet (Apple TV+)
Taking a look back at a couple of wildly different FX challenges for the ground-breaking series Prehistoric Planet.
For the environments, I developed the procedural timelapse systems to simulate shifting, wind-swept sand dune landscapes. On the creature side, I handled the high-resolution fluid simulations for a dinosaur giving birth underwater, blending organic fluid dynamics with complex creature interaction to keep everything looking perfectly photo-real.
Grateful to have contributed to such a landmark piece of paleo-media!
