Tor Andreassen

My name is Tor. I'm a Norwegian VFX Professional with over a decade of experience at top-tier Visual Effects Studios worldwide.

With over a decade of experience at leading Visual Effects Studios worldwide, I bring extensive expertise in compositing, both as a Supervisor and Senior Artist. My background spans roles as a Supervisor, Lead, Senior Artist, and Technical Director, giving me a well-rounded perspective from both creative and technical aspects of VFX Production.

I approach every VFX challenge as an opportunity to craft stunning visuals through innovative, efficient problem-solving. Beyond the visuals, I'm passionate about developing tools and designing streamlined workflows that empower my teams to work at their best.

As a leader, I focus on guiding teams to create visually compelling, photoreal imagery that supports the narrative. I believe in the power of strong creative work, clear communication, and well-designed pipelines that enhance both storytelling and production efficiency.

Mentorship is also a key part of my journey. I take pride in helping emerging talent grow in this industry. I'm a member of the Visual Effects Society and have taught advanced compositing courses at University level.

Specialties: Supervision, Compositing, Team management, Nuke, and Pipeline Development (Python), Deep Compositing and Native Stereo Workflows.
