I am the founder and president of Artifex Animation Studios (aastudios.ca). I act as Visual Effects Producer and Supervisor for all the projects that we undertake. This means that I will be present on set to make sure the effects are shot as best they can be for upcoming VFX work and, that they are filmed in a way that respects the budget available to them. This way there are no surprises later during production and post-production.
I've been active in the cg world for more than fifteen years and I am always looking to improve on my skills.
