My name is Yuri Strachan, a Junior Compositor Artist currently living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I began to discover my passion for Visual Effects through video games, and today I know that post-production is and will always be my biggest interest. I love the challenge and how I can express my thoughts and ideas through the computer, creating a whole new world of imagination.
By 2016 I will have my Permanent Resident and will be returning to my second home in Beautiful British Columbia.
