About

I’m Zachary Malich, a video production and post-production artist with hands-on experience leading a 30-second commercial from concept through final delivery. I specialize in compositing and matchmoving, with a strong eye for shot consistency and a practical understanding of how footage should be captured for smooth post workflows, including anamorphic lens workflows.

I’ve supported team efficiency by documenting processes, giving clear feedback, and reducing onboarding errors. From complex multi-layer Nuke compositing to matching live-action plates with CG using Nuke and SynthEyes, I enjoy solving problems collaboratively—while maintaining quality control and ensuring final renders are ready for review and delivery.
