My primary role on Spelonk was transforming Cape Town into a post-apocalyptic, abandoned city. This was achieved mainly through compositing, using real photographs and footage of the city as a foundation, then adding layers of deterioration, decay, textures and other visual effects in Photoshop and After Effects to create the impression of a collapsed and deserted urban environment.

I also worked on various action sequences, adding visual effects such as explosions, blood splatter, gunfire and muzzle flashes etc. Was great fun!
