I have been interested in photography for a few years and I am doing it as a passion. If you want to see more you can go to my Instagram.
Visual Effects VFX
Being passionate about filmmaking I am now proficient also in Visual Effects using compositing software like Nuke and After Effects.
I am a generalist compositor skilled in integrating realistic effects in live-action footage (feature films, TV and commercials).
Proficient in the industry-standard Nuke VFX compositing software and Adobe After Effects. Skills includes tracking shots/objects (3D tracking as well), set extensions, rotoscoping, green/blue screen keying, objects adding/removal, 3D CG integration in live action-footage, color correction as well as some experience working in 3D with Cinema 4D and Houdini software (3D tracking, texturing, simulations – especially fire).
Working also with A.I. tools when necessary (ComfyUI for local A.I. tools or online tools like Kling, Runway, ChatGPT, Gemini, different image, 3D and video generative tools).
Very experienced in working remotely and very good communicator.
