Jeff Lichtfuss Email & Phone Number

I am a post producer and VFX Supervisor with 19 years of experience in the film industry. I have a passion for creating stunning and engaging content for various media platforms, from music videos and commercials, to documentaries, feature films, and live performance content.I am currently working freelance with production companies and studios on diverse and challenging commercial projects. Most recently I have been working with 1stAveMachine on commercial projects for clients such as Apple, Meta, Amazon, SnapChat, Nintendo, and more. I manage teams of remote artists and editors, work directly with clients, as well as bidding, VFX Supervising, and booking and managing color sessions and finishing. Previously, I was a senior producer at Ingenuity Studios, where I post produced multiple VMA nominated music videos for artists like Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Billie Eilish, as well as commercial campaigns for brands such as Frito-Lay, Nike, SoFi, Toyota, Bose, and others. I managed teams of twenty or more artists per project, ensuring on-time delivery and high-quality results. I have a strong background in VFX and design, having co-founded and operated a boutique VFX and design company called Ghost Town Media from 2006 to 2016. There, I wore multiple hats as a partner, creative director, producer, and manager of teams of artists. In addition to those tasks, I also worked as a compositor, animator, editor, and VFX generalist myself. I successfully delivered more than 500 projects during this time, including commercials, music videos, features, live performance graphics, and experimental content. I am proficient in project management software, such as ShotGrid, as well as the Microsoft and Google suites. Having been a VFX artist for many years, I also have deep understanding and practical knowledge of modern post and VFX workflows, including current knowledge of various VFX and editing software, such as the Adobe suite, C4D, FCP, Blender, and similar. I have excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, and I always strive to deliver the best possible solutions for my clients and partners. I still work as an artist at times as well, which has allowed me to stay current on creative software with an eye towards emerging tech like AI, XR, and real-time tools. AI and XR present immense challenges as well as exciting opportunities for what we do, and I’m constantly learning and adapting my skillset.Commercial VFX / Post Producer reel: https://vimeo.com/885406580Music Video VFX Producer Reel: https://vimeo.com/892508255
