Nuke composer / 3D artist

Practical skills:

I enjoy working both alone and as a part of a team. Used to organize my projects in clean and efficient manner. Have experience in fast technical troubleshooting both in my own shots, and also junior compositing artist's who needs some help. Deep understanding of 3D package, based on it's regular usage in past allows me to fully understand a postproduction pipeline or to design visual effects together with director and/or 3D VFX team. Have got understanding of composition, depth, light and colour. Able to work under tight deadlines and pressure.
