I choose compositing primarily because it is much quicker than other forms of the computer graphics and art industry. My mind is constantly racing a mile a minute, thinking about all sorts of effects and techniques that would help complete the illusion of reality.

My academic studies, skills and experience in 2D and visual effects design enable me to offer several qualities that would make me an asset to you.

Competent knowledge of various phases involved in a media project- developed through my degree level study, where I am specialized in both Still Graphics Design and Motion Graphics Design, from story boarding, modelling till post-production plus a six year's work placement at different studios. These experiences have given me a valuable insight into how the industry operates and the awareness to persuasively fit in ever- changing circumstances.

Versatile and Effective Compositing approach- developed through working on several team based projects at studios, during my placement and a number of part-time and vacation roles. My position as a Visual artist/Compositor/Animation Director, Editor at several projects, Authority particularly developed my ability to visualize and produce an effective outcome while dealing with a wide variety of requirements.

Experience of producing creative ideas whilst under pressure to meet tight deadlines - developed through my work with projects Development Authority where I reviewed the prototypes and delegate modifications amongst the team of modellers and animators. My time-management and consistency to design layouts, digital compositing and editing led to a successful outcome by meet client's requirement in a strict time-line. My recent works include many shots of animation as affected by media industry.
