Now
I am a highly accomplished Senior VFX Supervisor with a substantial and diverse career in film, TV drama (show side and post side) and TVC’s - focussed now on advertising and digital content worldwide.
I have supervised the filming and post on huge projects, and ones with a single VFX shot - each get the same level of creative and technical love.
I am involved at the treatment/storyboard stage and will take on a project which hasn’t been awarded to post, working alongside the other production HOD’s. If the job is awarded I would work with the VFX studio - and do exactly the same job - devising with production how to achieve the work from the VFX perspective.
I am at ease with the most complex integration of CGI, scale model, Matte Painting, SFX and live action performance - an expert in finding the most aesthetically appropriate filming route to suit the narrative, production constraints and budget.
I work with many of the best production companies and VFX studios in the northern hemisphere.
Then
I began in the industry at Joe Dunton Cameras (Panavision) where I was film projectionist and part of the video department. I then moved into post production and at Framestore made my debut as an editor, evolving into the new world of digital Visual Effects.
It was such a magical creative time. The work was very broad and varied, testing the boundaries of what could be achieved. I worked on a broad range of genres across VFX, editorial and design - TVC’s, Content, Channel Branding, Idents, Title Sequences, Comedy (Spitting Image) and Music Videos.
Much later, as a Senior VFX Supervisor and Flame Artist I managed a succession of VFX Departments in boutique VFX Studios, bidding, advising clients, attending shoots, empowering artists and mentoring juniors. I am credited on many TV Dramas and a couple of independent films.
I now work solely in production on advertising and digital content.
