About
Based in London, Sean is a Houdini FX Artist and Generalist with roots in Fine Arts. In 2012 he graduated with a BA Fine Arts from UAL (University of the Arts London), and two years later undertook the MA Digital Effects program at the NCCA (National Centre for Computer Animations) in Bournemouth, UK.
Noticing the prevalence of technical backgrounds in the VFX industry, Sean, transitioning from Fine Arts, recognised the need for a blend of technical and creative skills. To adapt, he delved into Houdini visual effects, seamlessly integrating his artistic foundation with the technical demands of VFX.
During his Bachelor’s degree, Sean took an interest in 19th C. illusions and in-camera trickery, which naturally progressed to VFX. The likes of Georges Méliès and Laurent Mannoni inspired Sean to become a modern day illusionist.
