Hi, I'm Cliff Welsh, a senior flame artist and VFX supervisor with extensive experience in feature films and television. I specialize in Flame compositing, de-aging, and face replacement, and I've earned a VES Award for outstanding compositing on Captain America: The First Avenger. I lead in-house rig shoots, mentor junior artists, and ensure shots are both creative and technically precise. Beyond hands-on work, I stay involved in pre-lighting, shot direction, and collaborating with teams across productions like Black Adam, Stranger Things, Captain America, Free Guy, and The Gray Man. I’m comfortable with Unreal and deepfake technologies and am passionate about pushing creative boundaries on cutting-edge VFX projects in film and TV.…Hi, I'm Cliff Welsh, a senior flame artist and VFX supervisor with extensive experience in feature films and television.
