AllanMcKay

VFX Supervisor + Technical Director

25+ Years of Visual Effects

Having worked in the film industry for nearly three decades, I’ve built teams, managed studios, worked in over a dozen countries and supervised on set, developed custom tools for production teams, given talks at studios like Industrial Light + Magic and Ubisoft, Remedy, Activision, Prime Focus (to name a few).

I've worked closely with many of the leading software developers to improve their tools, or in some times at the beginning of the development cycle on creating new software.

Typically where I see my strength is experience. I take pride in coming onto projects at the very start to anticipate many of the problems that will occur, help assemble quality teams, and supervise projects to ensure they're not only under budget and run smoothly, but have the confidence of the client throughout the entire production.

And, it's definitely been a large portion of my career coming in at the very end to put out fires on 911 jobs that have gone sideways and miracles need to be performed. To me it's all about the experience, the collaboration with amazing talent and making every project memorable.

If there's a project coming up, or there's a project falling apart—or somewhere in the middle—I am always excited to work with new studios, clients and creatives.

So drop me a line!
