I am a freelance Nuke compositor who is a hugely enthusiastic individual. I have been working in visual effects for over six years and different aspects of the broadcast media industry for the past
ten years. Visual effects is a passion and a field I want to continuously develop in. I always strive for perfection in my shots and seek to improve. I work well under
pressure, a quality that is essential in such a fast past environment.

    As a Comp Lead, I head up the compositing department, which evolves looking after all compositing staff (both full time and freelance), training and development (including performance reviews), ensuring best practices are being used, helping with recruitment of compositors, setting up template comp scripts, attend client meetings, and seek out Nuke plug-ins, create tools and gizmos, and identify software that can further the department and efficiency. I also quality check all comp work before it is sent out to clients and work as a Senior Compositor when needed too.
