Experience

  • Visual Effects Artist - Internship at SSVFX
    Dublin, IE
    June 2024 - June 2024

    A two week placement in studio at SSVFX putting into practice the skills I learnt and refined in the weeks previous as part of a series of online classes led by an industry expert, supported by the Creative Media Academy of Ireland.

  • Internship Trainee at SSVFX
    Dublin , IE
    August 2023 - August 2023

    Worked focused mainly on roto and plate cleanup. I had the opportunity to do a small bit of CG integration and other bits of comp work that really gave me a feel for the role I'm stepping into.

    This was a two week placement in studio as part of the CMAI Intro to Compositing course 2023.
