I'm a Visual Effects developer. I begun as 3D Designer and Animator back in 2003 but overall I started getting into CG as early as 2000. My passion for computer graphics and computer games led me to pursue the technical aspect of CG as well. I studied Computing (BSc) in University of Wales and move on to do my postgraduate degree in Computer animation and Visual Effects (MSc) in Bournemouth University. I look at myself as 3D Generalist with strong artistic skills and technical knowledge. I usually like to get involved with the entire process of the vfx pipeline but If I have to point out my preferences in CG, that would be FX, CFX, Lighting and Shading.
