Founded and run a successful freelance/VFX and motion design business for over ten years. I create realistic effects and eye-catching 3D visuals for independent films, TV commercials, branded videos, and studio work. I prepare bids and proposals with comprehensive budget breakdowns, schedules, and workflow synopses. I write visual scripts for targeted motion graphics videos for websites, social media, and corporate events. I collaborate directly with film producers and directors across short films, documentaries, features, music videos, promotional live-action pieces, and training series. I design and model custom 3D digital assets for film and product/trade show exhibits, manage multiple internal and client projects with a tailored project-management system, and subcontract specialized tasks like sound design and voice talent when needed.
