David’s most recent role saw him lead the charge on one of the year’s most talked-about films: Civil War. 

His second collaboration with Alex Garland as Production VFX Supervisor, the film demanded a gritty, documentary-style approach in order to achieve the director’s distinctive, dystopian vision. From nerve-jangling action to huge environment builds - a living, breathing, Washington DC was built from scratch in CG - the film’s ‘invisible’ VFX played a huge part in its immersive power. 

As well as working with Garland on the visceral, gut-churning Men, David’s other projects include Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Thor: Ragnarok, Gravity, Alien: Covenant and the first, BAFTA-winning season of  His Dark Materials. 

Most recently David has been collaborating with Noah Baumbach, working on set to oversee the virtual production elements for Jay Kelly.
