Callum Weir Email and Phone Number
With over 8 years experience working in the feature film and television industry I have a demonstrated history and expertise performing in various roles including Motion Design, Matchmove, Lighting, Compositing and Editing. I have worked at various studios including Aardman, Jellyfish Pictures, Red Star and contributed my abilities to a wide range of feature animation, live action, episodic and advertising projects.I am dedicated to obtaining the highest quality output both technically and creatively and am fully equipped to handle various technical aspects of the industry including the creation of tools to help other artists. Skilled with a wide range of software including Nuke, Fusion, After Effects, Maya, Houdini, Katana, Mocha, PFTrack, Photoshop, Premiere, and Illustrator, I continue to expand upon my knowledge to use even more applications to benefit studios and their needs.Throughout my career I have been able to develop and utilise my skills, knowledge, and experiences in a number of key roles within a creatively driven and often time critical environment across various animation studios. Learning from the strengths of each studio and collaborating with colleagues, including supervising departments at different stages of a pipeline, has allowed me to fully contribute to a successful project delivery deadline. My work ethic has often allowed me to act as a mentor and provide training in multiple studios on the various techniques and industry standards required within the animation industry. Furthermore this experience was even more beneficial when I worked as a part time lecturer in a local college guiding aspiring artists to ensure they are industry ready.
