Pixel Magic Visual Effects - Baton Rouge, La
Chris began his career in VFX at the end of 2010 with Millennium Studios where he learned compositing and worked on set as a data wrangler and a VFX coordinator.
After 3 years with Millennium, Chris split his time between studios in New York City where he freelanced, and Pixel Magic, an LA/Burbank-based studio with a shop in Baton Rouge, La.
Six years of traveling and freelancing flew by while Chris honed his skills as an artist and occasionally led teams at various studios.
In 2020 Crafty Apes Baton Rouge opened its doors and Chris became their first Compositing Supervisor. With several shows under his belt as a Comp Sup, Chris took on the duties as an On Set and post VFX Supervisor. He loved every project with Crafty, learned many skills, and got to know a great group of people.
Chris has been a member of the Visual Effects Society since 2020
