Hi, my name is Kevin Shimamoto. For the past 8 years I have worked as mainly a Compositor, but I also have experience working as a Matchmove artist as well. I have worked on a number of both high end tv episodic work and feature films. I have mainly used Nuke for compositing, keying, roto and matchmoving, although I am also familiar with other other programs such as Syntheyes, Boujou, PFTrack and Mocha. I am a very hard working individual who is willing to give it my all to get the project finished. I also work very well in a team environment and am always looking to learn new techniques to add to my ever growing skill set.
