Digital Compositor | VFX Generalist

Warsaw, Poland

Summary

I've been a full-time compositor since 2012, sometimes adding VFX to the mixture. Before that I was a generalist for about 3 years. Occasionally I work as an international on-set VFX supervisor. I've worked on sets of music videos, commercials and TV/streaming services series. A big fan of simulations - Houdini and Embergen now, FumeFx and Blender in the past. In my free time I'm sharpening my skills in Houdini and experimenting with Blender and different rendering engines. Unreal Engine is also on my list.

Apart from the software already mentioned, my previous experience includes Mocha, PFTrack, 3ds Max, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer and Resolve.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or thoughts.
