Overview
I am a Vancouver based Compositor with over 20 years experience working in the local Post
Production Industry. I have wide experience in visual effects for film, television & animation. My strengths are in freeform creative, design, shot breakdown and work organization. I look at any challenge with an emphasis on realism, logic and originality. I imagine the physics, energy, motion and colour theory. I then begin to purposely create.
