Experience
Calm

I am an accomplished VFX Specialist with a substantial and diverse career in film, TV drama and advertising - now placed solely in production, shooting for digital advertising.

I'm relaxed with the most complex filmmaking - for the integration of CGI, performance interaction, stop motion animation, scale models and scale photography, digital matte painting and SFX - I break all this all out with the other HOD's to find a sensible approach to shooting.

I will deal with any eventuality - offering an answer to suit where we are. I navigate the production agency client relationship with ease.

I work with many of the hottest production companies and VFX studios in the northern hemisphere.

Ingredients

After a spell as a stage hand at Chichester Festival Theatre, I began in the film industry at Joe Dunton Cameras (Panavision) in the video assist dept, where I became film dailies projectionist too.

Later I moved into post production and at Framestore ran their first operations dept. At FS I made my debut as an editor, evolving with the new world of digital visual effects. It was the most magical time. The work was broad, varied and always challenging. The film world was awakening to this new arena, testing the boundaries of what could be achieved digitally.

I worked in a wide range of genres across VFX, editorial and design (it was the Wild West - if you could do the work, you had the job) - Channel Branding, Idents, Title Sequences, Digital Advertising, Content, TV comedy (Spitting Image) and Music Videos.

Much later, as a VFX Supervisor and Flame Artist I managed a succession of VFX Departments in mostly boutique VFX Studios, bidding, advising clients, attending shoots, empowering artists, mentoring juniors and winning awards. I am credited on many TV Dramas and a couple of independent films.
