Compositing Reel - Summer 2024compositing

 Project Details

I’m a self-taught and driven compositor. I’ve been working as a Nuke compositor since 2014. From making my first movie at age 11 – a version of “X-Men” where I played all the characters – up to today, I’m passionate about visual storytelling. I’m a skilled collaborator and communicator. I create detailed and seamless final composites and regularly handle complex shots as described below and seen in my reel.
