  At Spin VFX, I used The Foundry NukeX software & plug-ins to construct final images, integrating 2D roles, live-action, and other computer graphics to create seamless 3D CGI/VFX environment. I demonstrated skills in visual clean-up for shot fixes, with experience in fast-paced, highly stylized effects. I also analyzed issues within a shot, and I repaired frames quickly and seamlessly. In my work, I collaborated with lead artists, supervisors, and management to meet tight deadlines.
