About Geoff

I’ve spent more than twenty years making images for film and television, in the art department as a graphic designer and concept artist, and in visual effects as an artist and supervisor. I’ve led teams of up to 20 artists, managed VFX budgets over $2 million and delivered more than 1,500 shots in a single season on network and streaming shows.

I’ve supervised for ABC Studios and Twentieth Century Fox, and on shows including Dallas, Shadowhunters, Longmire, The Good Wife, Criminal Minds and Disney+’s The Santa Clauses. I was a compositing supervisor at Barnstorm VFX, and I’ve also worked at FuseFX, Zoic, Framework and Nitrous. Most recently I was embedded on set in South Korea as on-set VFX supervisor for Armorsaurs, capturing HDRIs, witness cameras and set measurements so post had everything it needed.

I’m also a member of the Art Directors Guild. As a senior graphic designer and concept artist for CBS Studios and Twentieth Century Fox, I’ve designed on-screen graphics, sets, props and vehicles for 9-1-1, CSI: Vegas, High Desert and Terminator: Dark Fate. That mix is what I bring to a production: I know what the art department builds on the day, and what post needs to finish the shot.
