About

Hi, I’m Max Baraliuc, a VFX artist with 13+ years of professional experience, specializing in compositing, clean-up, and motion graphics for broadcast, commercial, and animated productions. I have a deep background in CG lighting and shading from six years at Simpals Studio on the internationally distributed Dji animated series, and I’m comfortable working across the full post pipeline—from on-set clean-up and plate work through to final delivery.

I enjoy collaborating with directors and teams to craft visually compelling stories, and I bring hands-on experience in Maya, Unreal Engine, and multiple rendering engines to ensure efficient, high-quality results that align with creative and client goals.
