Jonah (2013)

I am a Senior Layout Artist with over 11 years of experience in VFX Film, Feature Animation and Streaming shows having started in London, UK and subsequently moved to Montreal, Canada. I have extensive experience working in 3D Layout, Previs, Postvis and Matchmove departments ensuring the quality of work to downstream teams.

I have a strong artistic sense, great communication skills, work well with Supervisors and Directors, a collaborative team-player, with strong technical abilities, who is autonomous and can train colleagues when required. Other capabilities include prop construction, asset integration, modelling, set-dressing, character animation and blocking, pre-FX, pre-lighting, pre- compositing, and MEL or Python scripting workflow solutions.

Having worked on dozens of Hollywood movies, Television, Netflix and Disney Plus Streaming shows I understand the need to be adaptable and efficient whilst learning the latest techniques. Keeping up-to-date with evolving technology and experimenting with A.I. based image generation such as NeRF workflows mean artists have the ability to become more creative with a plethora of choices from Automation. I am an expert in Maya, Nuke, Shotgun, Katana, Guerilla, Google Suite and Photoshop. I am British and also a Canadian citizen.

I look forward to hearing from you.
