i've been very lucky to have been at the forefront of digital effects for over 20 years, and to have worked and gained experience at some of the best facilites and vfx houses in the world.
Working mainly in London and Europe i've created and enhanced an enormous variety of visually stunning and entertaining content, with occasional longer stays for particularly rewarding or fun work.
Film and prestige work is tackled as equally diligently as an internet popup or obscure channel ident, and clients are assured that everything is in hand and all will be delivered on time and in budget.
i have also taught smoke and flame short courses at NFTS and Ravensbourne and i'm an acredited Autodesk user.
