Showcase & Discover Creative Work

Creative imagery and storytelling is my life.

Having worked on Feature Films, Documentaries, Episodic TV, National / International Commercials, and Video Game cinematics over the last 11 years, I feel that I possess the skills and capabilities to make a serious contribution to any project or slate of productions. 

Aside from my work as a VFX Compositor, there are other areas in my life which bring me great joy and help me stay grounded and ultimately fulfilled. These include my wife and children, cooking, athletics, and traveling. I also explore my creative expression in other disciplines which include Motion and Still Photography, Acting, Writing, Directing, Drawing and Athletics.

On the education front, I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree (Suma Cum Laude) in Multimedia Design which encompassed a broad range of disciplines and created in me a great sense of the value of team building as well as personal excellence. It helped me form a rock solid work ethic which has supported my creative pursuits and benefitted my clients and their projects. Following my degree program I spent some time in the Cinema Department at LACC as well as worked hands on for various independent Feature Films and Television Productions. I am continuously studying and working to improve my existing skill sets while taking on the challenges of expanding my knowledge base. I utilize elements like FXPHD, CMIVFX, and Pixelcorps to further my development. I am currently learning the basics of Python Scripting as well as higher levels of Syntheyes 3D Tracking and the new Nuke Tracking system.

I have had the privilege of working on several award winning projects with some really talented people and will continue to strive to do work that far exceeds client expectations. Read Less

Project Lead Compositor : Nuke / After Effects
yU+co

“I have worked with Anthony on several projects at yU+Co Inc. where I am co-creative director. Both projects were extremely difficult and very demanding in their execution. The composites required not just technical excellence but a great eye for the composition and believability of the shots. The work was long and tedious and Anthony stuck with it until we achieved a beautiful award winning piece. Anthony is easy to work with and is a consummate professional. I recommend him highly.” July 7, 2010
