About

For the last 14 years I've been developing my skills in every area related to film. While working at PostPanic I've specialized in VFX and Direction. After nine years I've decided to persue a career as a freelancer, wanting to see more of the world.

 

In 2009 I graduated at the Netherlands Film Academy, studying Visual Effects, with a focus on compositing, lighting and character animation. I've continued on this path at PostPanic, where I've worked from 2008 (internship), till 2017. There the focus has been animation, lighting, rendering, compositing, on-set supervision and directing commercials.

I’ve been freelancing since 2017 and since then I’ve worked for many different companies: Submarine, Glassworks, Mediamonks, DeadPixel and many others. I’ve also completed the VFX for a few projects all by myself acting as a small studio.

All this experience is of great use when I’m taking on VFX Supervision jobs. I really enjoy working with the director, being on set and also guiding a team during post-production. My most recent project is Apollo 10 1/2 (Richard Linklater - 2022) on which I did both VFX and Compositing Supervision. The film contained over 1850 VFX shots so I spent 4 weeks in Austin to supervise the shoot and make sure it would all work in post.

Aside from working behind a computer, I've experimented a lot with real camera's, doing small shoots as a DOP and I have an active interest in photography. I like to bring this experience into my digital work, that's why I've been involved a lot with on-set Supervision and making animatics (previz) for commercials.  A subject I've been teaching at the Netherlands Film Academy.

Currently I'm comfortable in Houdini, 3ds Max, Maya, Nuke, Fusion, 3D Equalizer, PFtrack, Resolve and anything from the Adobe CC suite. That's why I feel pretty comfortable stepping into any pipeline and bringing something useful to the table. So feel free to contact me if you are interested in working together on a cool project.
