Shane Simpson VFX

THE FULL STORY
Maya was the first software I learned in 2008.
​
2009 began my time at the School of Visual Art in Manhattan for Computer Animation and Visual Effects in pursuit of my Bachelor's of Fine Art degree.
​
Sophomore year was when I started learning Houdini. The same year I began working my first internship and involving myself in as many senior thesis projects as possible.
​
By Junior year after two internships under my belt I had landed my first job for both lighting and FX at an animation studio called Panda Panther in NYC.
​
From that point and after graduation in 2013, I continued to freelance from NYC, to LA, to Hungary and then Canada for companies such as;
​
Aardman Nathan Love
Framestore
MPC
Psyop
Digital Domain
Digic Pictures
Pixomondo
FuseFX
Method Studios
Blur Studios
DNeg
​
My motivation is to create great work and continue learning.
