I am an experienced Flame artist with an excellent understanding of workflows, pipelines, best practice and disciplines having worked at numerous Post Production facilities both here and abroad. I have collaborated with many artists, directors, production companies and agencies and have a good working knowledge of many applications including DaVinci Resolve, Premier, Mocha Pro, Encoder, Photoshop and Neat Video. I am a keen mentor and trainer most recently contributing to the government’s VFX framework consultation for Future Skills Training. I also completed an ACES course at the National Film and Television School to complement my knowledge of colour in Post Production. With over 25 years on Flame, and its evolved iterations, I look forward to many more exciting collaborations.
Projects

The experience was enlightening, the company is awesome and super high tech, so I fine tuned a lot of workflow and pipeline concepts especially between Flame and Nuke.
