 I had the privilege of leading the American Thunder project, highlighting the 2024 Next Gen NASCAR update for Forza Motorsport. My goal was to capture the raw intensity and thrilling wheel-to-wheel action that define NASCAR races. Using real in-engine footage, I worked to authentically showcase the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, Ford Mustang Dark Horse, and Toyota Camry XSE, immersing players in the adrenaline-fueled spirit of NASCAR. 

 As part of our marketing efforts, we produce monthly update videos showcasing the latest additions and features in the game. For this project, I utilized the Xbox XDK to capture real in-engine footage, providing a dynamic, high-level perspective of the game's ongoing development. This approach not only enhanced the quality of the updates but also kept me closely engaged with the development process, ensuring the videos accurately reflected the progress and excitement of Forza Motorsport. 

For the launch of the 2025 Lamborghini Revuelto crossover event in Forza Horizon 5, I contributed to the cinematic and visual execution that celebrated the franchise’s expansion across both PlayStation and Xbox. The piece was designed as a seamless transition from in-game graphics to the real-world vehicle, symbolizing the bridge between digital and physical automotive culture. My work focused on cinematic camera work, lighting, and visual polish to showcase the Revuelto’s aggressive design, exposed carbon fiber details, and the custom livery representing the unification of gaming communities through cross-play. This project marked a major milestone for both Forza and Lamborghini, blending real-time storytelling with real-world automotive presence.

I had the opportunity to support the creation of this video right as I began my journey with Turn 10 at Microsoft. Showcasing the excitement of the new Forza Motorsport, the video highlights the all-new career mode, multiplayer racing, and an incredible lineup of over 500 cars on iconic tracks. It was an amazing introduction to working with the team and capturing the cutting-edge AI, advanced physics, and thrill of the game. See you at the starting line!
