His work at RSP encompassed a broad range of projects: for example, on Captain Marvel (2019), he supervised nearly 300 visual effects shots — including the creation of a fully 3D subterranean aircraft hangar complete with military hardware and holographic effects. Sarnes was also a VFX supervisor on Ford v Ferrari (2019), for which RSP contributed a major share of the visual-effects work. That contribution earned him, along with collaborators, a nomination from the Visual Effects Society (VES) in 2020 for Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature. Beyond that, he supervised the VFX for Jungle Cruise (2021), where his team helped recreate vast, photo-real rainforest environments and deliver complex water, explosion and creature effects in service of the film's stylised adventure story.
