My name is Iosif Kefalas and I'm a 3D-VFX generalist and a music composer-sound engineer. At the present I work as an FX Artist mostly on TV commercials and documentaries. I also work as a music producer & sound engineer on a very promising pop album. I'm particularly specialized on particle FX- dynamics, lighting, matchmoving, lookDev and compositing.
