Hello! I'm Anthony Rochon, a Visual Effects Artist specializing in Fluid FX. I am well versed in all dynamic simulation types and the SideFX Houdini Software in general. I am also a Compositor and skilled in Foundry Nuke. I studied at Rebelway Academy, earning certifications including the Water FX Artist Certification and Compositing Essentials for VFX, along with several other course credentials. I'm a movie, TV, and video games enthusiast who loves using technical computing knowledge to fuel creative visuals. My primary focus is on fluid dynamic simulations, but I’ve grown passionate about compositing as well. I hope one day to create amazing visuals for movies, TV, games, and more that inspire awe and excitement in audiences, just as I felt as a kid watching films on the big screen. I’m eager to collaborate, grow, and bring imaginative visuals to life—let's connect and work together!
