Houdini Fx Td, 7 years experience in vfx for film & Tv at Framestore, Pixomondo & Dneg. Currently based in London, available to work remotely (for countries abroad too). A technically driven capable all-round Houdini artist, particular strength with vex and in particles and volumetric work. I also have a background in Maya and working at a variety of studios gained experience with many different pipelines, workflows and other skills such as shading, lighting, lookdev, rendering (mainly Arnold & Mantra) and compositing (Nuke). I believe that teamwork and communication skills are as, if not more, important that technical & artistic skills.
