Hi, I’m Kristopher Scott Baldwin, an Animation Director, Visual Effects Artist, and Composer with 15+ years of experience on major studio feature films, prime-time television, and music videos. I began as an After Effects compositor and 2D pipeline specialist with credits spanning Warner Bros., Marvel Studios, DreamWorks Animation, and Adult Swim. I’ve built and maintained After Effects compositing pipelines, led 2D VFX from layout through final delivery, and I’ve supervised on-site VFX for commercials. My work spans feature films such as Captain America: The First Avenger and Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, and I’ve contributed to Mortal Kombat Legends projects with recurring VFX and animation across a range of broadcast and streaming projects. I enjoy collaborating across departments from concept and design to final delivery.
