When I am not On-Site, in the Studio or On-Set, I am equipped for remote work if required.
![This photo is to commemorate my time working at home on an animated series in 2020.
In the early stages of production, it is essential to be on-set or in the Motion Capture Studio to capture the performance of the actors. After these initial stages of an animated series or film, it is easy to work from home for the remainder of a project.
All of this is made possible by working with a core team of competent responsible people with the same vision, and a good Producer to keep the communication flowing. There are some challenges, but I don't miss rush hour traffic. All the extra hours that you gain, actually leads to increased productivity.
By sharing project recourses in the cloud, and being able to log in to the render farms and servers when needed, finally allows one to work remotley.
The dogs also approve!

![A Narrowband HOO Palette image of the faint emission nebula Sharpless 308 (also cataloged as Sh2-308, RCW 11, and LBN 1052).
Sh2-308 is an emission nebula and HII region located near the center of the constellation Canis Major, composed of ionised Hydrogen. It is about 8 degrees south of Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. The nebula is bubble-like, surrounding a Wolf-Rayet star named EZ Canis Majoris. This star is in the brief, pre-supernova phase of its stellar evolution.
About this image:
This image is the result of photographing over from the Southern Hemisphere, over several nights as the weather permitted (from dark rural skies to my Pier at home). Deep Sky Objects like this is a challenge, as it pushes the limits of my modest Telescope gear (especially my mount).
Technical Info:
24 x 600 sec. 7nm Hydrogen-Alpha (Ha).
24 x 600 sec. 6.5nm Doubly Ionized Oxygen (OIII).
William Optics Star 71mm f/4.9 Imaging APO Refractor.
Sensor cooled to -15°C on my QHY163M.
Calibration frames: Bias, Darks and Flats.

![A cropped Bi-Color Narrowband image of NGC 6188, an emission nebula located about 4,000 light-years away in the constellation Ara.
About this image:
This image is the results of imaging at several occasions and locations during the past year, and it pushes the limits of my current Telescope gear (especially my mount). It makes it very rewarding when you have to work hard for an image, and I definitely plan to add more data to get more of the faint detail.
Technical Info:
64 x 600sec. 7nm Hydrogen-Alpha (Ha) and 6.5nm Doubly Ionized Oxygen (OIII) exposures at -25°C on my QHY163M.
