As a compositor focusing on Feature Film & Episodic Television for the past 17+ years, I have worked on teams of various sizes to bring a client's vision to the screen.
Various roles over the years required my skills, instructing new artists, as well as coordinating sequences to maintain consistency, but I tend to prefer focusing on shots and eschewing supervisory roles, as I enjoy the puzzle of complex problems & requests and bringing them to completion when possible.
While working at different studios I have have been lucky enough to work with a number of talented artists who I have been privileged to
learn from, and feel grateful to be able to pass that information along when the opportunity arises.
I have enjoyed being relied upon to be the artist that could be tossed a complex or rush shot, sure that I would be able to turn it around in
the time needed.
Working on future projects to find new puzzles to solve and new artists to collaborate with, is something that I truly look forward to.
