In this latest music video for the Arctic Monkeys, directed by Richard Ayoade for Warp Films, we had the fantastic opportunity of designing the look and generating all of the environments for the entire promo. The band were shot in a green screen studio, just them in a boat - not a drop of water or a sky in sight!

Demo video from my summer 2008 internship project at Microsoft Research. I proposed and worked on the problem of trying to stabilize appearance in internet image collections. The problem involves making images in these collections look like they were taken under similar illumination using the same camera settings.

This short video demonstrates advanced image editing techniques made possible by a new algorithm we have developed for quickly finding good matches between all parts (patches) of two different image regions.

The project is a collaboration between Adobe, Princeton University, and the University of Washington. We will present it in the technical papers session at SIGGRAPH '09 in New Orleans this August. You can find more information (including a PDF of the paper and the full video with more background and technical details) at
