Introduction
I
am a Canadian citizen with indefinite leave to remain in
the UK. I am interested in working as a Nuke digital compositor
for feature films and have a keen interest in stereoscopy, photo/cinematography
and filmmaking.
Experience
Roto Artist,
Double Negative
Jan 2012 – Present
- Roto Artist creating spline-based articulated mattes and dustbusting/plate restoration for feature films using Nuke and proprietary tools.
To speed up the roto process, I try to use matchmove cameras & geometry or planar tracks in Nuke.
