Background in VFX and 3D animation.
I have learned skills in software like Blender and Adobe After Effects, and developed a deep understanding of visual effects in general. While being second to video production, very rarely is there a project that I work on where these skills do not apply in some way. Whether this be for conceptualization during pre-production, crafting visuals for live productions, or polishing and finalizing VFX in post-production.
