About
I am an Emmy award winning compositor (2014 Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement In A Craft: Graphic Design and Art Direction, as a Compositor for "Big History" on H2) with more than 30 years (yikes!) experience in feature and television post-production. I am a senior level compositor, often serving as Lead or Supervisor. I am currently a senior compositor at VFX Legion.
My skills include 3D camera composites, integrating CG into live plates, generating 2.5D particle effects, blue- and green-screen comps, motion graphics, roto and removals. I come up with workable solutions relatively quickly. I also have significant experience leading a team and coaching less experienced artists through tough spots. I learn something from just about everyone I work with.
I use After Effects primarily, plus Mocha (a lot) and Nuke when I have to. I have production experience with Mac, Windows and Linux. I spent several years as Pixel Magic's Lead Compositor. In 2007 I worked as a senior artist at Industrial Light and Magic on the first Transformers.
My wife and I have two dogs, my favorite place is Yosemite and I didn't get the chicken pox until I was 21. Go figure.
