Hi all!

The name's Brian and I've been in the industry over five years now. I have worked on a wide range of projects and shows. Everything from 3D science animations, stereoscopic conversions to 2D gore compositing. Most recently I have been working as a stereoscopic conversion compositor on multiple feature films. All the projects came with their own challenges and special techniques.

As the projects become available so will an updated demo reel. I consider myself a 2D/3D generalist working primarily with Maya, Nuke, After Effects and ZBrush.

For particle generation Particle Illusion, Maya Particles, Realflow, Softimage ICE seem to get the job done.
