My name is Gudjon Kristjansson and I’m a Compositing Supervisor.

Originally from Iceland, I graduated with a Diploma in Multimedia from the Multimedia School of Iceland. I moved to Vancouver to study Visual Effects at Vancouver Film School in 2013 and graduated with honors from that program in October of 2014.

As a real team player, I take direction well and am a very task oriented person. I’m looking forward to growing my skill set and am really excited to become a valuable member of the great society of
post-production.

I’m interested in opportunities worldwide and my dream is to work on fantastic looking shots for a variety of shows.

My skill set is a combination of 2D and 3D Compositing techniques, Camera Projections, Plate Cleanups, Matchmoving, Set Extensions, Rotoscoping, Matte Extractions as well as Lighting in Maya.

When I’m not working I enjoy playing golf and video games, taking a long bike ride or just gathering inspiration from great TV shows and features.

  • Marketing / IT Technician

    February 2013 - October 2013

    At Arctic Adventures I started out in the IT department in February 2013. In the beginning I was working every day with my final project at the Multimedia School in Iceland. At Arctic I worked with Google Apps Business management and took care of technical problems all around the company including sip phone management and computer repairs. My biggest job at the company was to move the company computer systems to a new headquarters and making sure that everything was in tip top shape. After a while I was offered to take on a couple of projects involving marketing and graphic design work as well as some small animation projects.

    My time at Arctic Adventures was a very rewarding and eye opening experience and it made me realize that my passion lies in multimedia and CGI work.

    Great atmosphere with great people and good friends.
