Passionate VFX (Visual Effects) artist with a focus on 2D and simulated FX: Image Manipulation, Compositing and Matte Painting as well as photo-realistic simulated Fire, Liquid, Smoke, Dust and high-end Magic / Particle Effects. I hold a Bachelor degree in Visual Effects for Film and Television with 10 years of Photoshop experience and over 5 years of experience with 3D/compositing software (Houdini / Maya / Nuke / After Effects / Fusion / SynthEyes) for compositing purposes (Setting up 2.5D projections, rendering/lighting 3D scenes, matchmoving / camera tracking, etc). I also have experience with the Python API in Houdini/Nuke/Maya for scripting and pipeline TD tasks.
