commercials and feature films since 2003. With great compositing skills and an eye for detail he
gives shots that professional feel. He creates new possibilities for you to get creative because
he's got the talent to seamlessly integrate material from 2 or more completely different sources
such as stills and motion, or footage from multiple sources.
Professional Compositing Delivers Quality
With regards to colour correction, David shows that subtle (or extreme in certain cases) changes
can completely alter the feeling of the material being used, and post formatting of material can
create that real, cinematic professional feeling. Title animation and integration are also
techniques he's well versed in within the commercial field. Over the years, David has worked with
agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi, TBWA and Neboko, and has been involved
in post production video effects of around 15 international movies to date.
David is listed on imdb (Internet Movie Data
