I find being on set can be pretty fast paced most of the time and I enjoy getting stuck in and doing the best I can to make our lives easier back in the studio.<\/p>\n Working at some smaller studios has helped me expand my skillset, I picked up 3D Tracking a few years ago and I absolutely love doing that. I’m also building a HDR library that I will hopefully be making available soon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can find out more about his work and background by visiting his WEBSITE: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n About me: Like a lot of VFX Artists I was obsessed with building things at a young age, Lego Technic seems to be a staple for us 3D geeks.
