Percy Jackson and The Olympians

Showrunners: Jonathan E. Steinberg, Dan Shotz (2023)
My Role: Virtual Production TD (Industrial Light and Magic)

Twelve-year-old demigod Percy Jackson is accused by the Greek god Zeus of stealing his thunderbolt and races to find it and restore order to Olympus.

As a Realtime TD, I set up the Montauk Beach and Olympus Throne Room environments for the LED wall using ILM’s Stagecraft tools. I optimized these environments to ensure seamless integration with the set. This included setting up the ocean, animating the lighthouse spotlight and moving grass. This involved close collaboration with various departments, including art, camera, and lighting, to deliver immersive sets.
