- Visual Effects
I'm an Animation Supervisor with extensive experience in animation and leadership in feature and episodic VFX. For the past several years I've helped deliver high-end, photo-real VFX for some of the top VFX studios on projects with a wide variety of mandates: realistic creatures, famous actors' face replacements, digi-doubles escaping in vehicles, flying around in complex props and scary monsters running amok. I collaborate daily with in-house and remote-based Leads and Artists both within my department and across other disciplines to make the most compelling sequences for the exacting specifications of every client. With my diverse teams, I seek out fresh creative ideas and adapt new techniques and tools to deliver top-quality animation within our budgets and schedules. My interests in powerlifting and gymnastics have surprising overlap with my background in hand-drawn animation as everything from drawing, anatomy, movement, weight, and timing ends up informing my CG work. I'm eager to continue collaborating with talented artists to craft believable creatures and characters.
