Profile

I'm the Head of the 2D Department/Compositing Supervisor (and formally 3D generalist and TD) at C.I.S. Hollywood. I have 16 years professional experience (film, television and other media).  I have 7 years professional experience with Nuke and am proficient with Shake and Icy.  I also have extensive previous professional experience with Maya as well as many other (now-defunct) 2D and 3D applications. I also have some on-set supervisory experience, as well as experience in both feature-film development and production.
