Hi, I’m Brian Bentley. I’m a technical artist and visual effects compositor who thrives at the intersection of artistry and technology. I specialize in CG integration, cleanup, wire removal, 3D projection, and AI-assisted workflows, delivering polished visuals for commercials, TV, and film. I enjoy refining color, texture, and motion to create impactful scenes that resonate with audiences.
I’m passionate about building efficient pipelines, restoring footage with care, and exploring new tools to push the boundaries of VFX. I approach projects with a collaborative mindset, clear communication, and a focus on delivering high-quality content on tight timelines.
