Photogrammetry and the latest in 3D technologies (NeRFs, Gaussian Splatting) offer an incredible tool for the preservation of objects and locations that may be isolated or at risk of damage from climate change or other natural disasters. With the ability to 3D print objects, you can make replicas that you can share and showcase. Taking these 3D concepts a bit further, objects, areas and even landscapes can be recreated in virtual reality to be explored and accessed online.

Below you can find a few examples of things I have worked on over the years, from modelling objects (and people) to be 3D printed, locations I have visited and wanted to remember with more than just images, as well as other explorations using technology.

Short video clips of scenes before rendering, meshes, point clouds, just as examples.

Renderings

To view a few 3D photogrammetry renderings that were done in Inuvik, NT, Canada, click the image below.

Snow King Festival 2023

The Snow King’s Snow Castle is a proof of concept 3D model meant to showcase the capabilities of photogrammetry. The goal is to then bring this model into virtual reality where a user can walk around the castle via a VR headset. To learn more, click the image below.

Our Lady of Victory Church (Igloo Church)

The Igloo Church is a proof of concept 3D model where a user can move around the interior of the church. To learn more, click the image below.

Spatial Experiences

I have always been fascinated by technology. I built a career in software technology before branching off and following my passion for filmmaking. Embedded deep within my interest for technology grew my interest in 3D modelling and its other forms of representation. I love exploring the use of 3D modelling for use in my storytelling, whether as an artistic means, a technical means, or simply in an abstract form that may not be possible any other way. I am interested in the use of point clouds as a way to offer 3D spatial exploration of what would normally just be a 2D image. I am currently exploring the use of the latest technology to allow one to move about and explore, what could be called a memory experience in our minds.

This was an early stage experimental point cloud memory experience that I created early on in my exploration. Generated from a hyperlapse of Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo, Japan, the scene was reconstructed using photogrammetry and the resulting point cloud used to float through the scene as if it were a memory.
