Compositing

A friendly individual with a passion for VFX, with a focus on compositing. Eager to continue my journey of learning to further refine my knowledge and skillset.

Biography

Having started my academic journey in Engineering, I felt disconnected from the subject and yearned for something which truly resonated with me. Upon switching my degree to Digital arts, I discovered the world of VFX, allowing me to explore the various disciplines within the VFX pipeline. Upon my journey, I found it was compositing that truly resonated with me. I was drawn to the immediacy of visual feedback and the critical role compositors play in shaping the final image. In addition, I am particularly fascinated by the artistry involved in gradually building detail to create a seamless final shot, combined with the technical workflows for applicable tasks.
