About Ed Englander

With 15+ years in visual effects, I have been thinking about how images appear on your screen for quite some time. A variety of project experiences spanning across series and feature formats have helped me develop an eye for creating both the spectacular and the invisible.Comfortable guiding and collaborating with artists through projects of any scale, I bring a thoughtful and even-keeled approach to whatever situation is at hand. Also, Dad jokes.Whether a shot or entire sequence, knowing the right approach and having the skills to see it through has won over the trust and appreciation of supervisors, producers, and artists alike. Continually working to develop knowledge of the bigger picture around studio projects, pipeline and the client perspective, I am taking on supervisory opportunities as they present themselves.Visual effects are at my core and I would love to show you first hand what I'm capable of.When not pushing pixels around some things I tend to enjoy include:Kansas City BBQ, Hawaiian steel guitar, playing with my dog, and going to the Movies.
