my expertise in the field of visual effects spans over 2 decades, tip of the iceberg currently :
visual consultant : creative solutions
2D (compositing) supervisor
or simply senior film compositor

Yet above all, my approach remains mainly artistic :
in holding just about every existing position during my years as a vFx artist, I have mastered most techniques in this field, eventually allowing me to overview the entire process and supervise.
