Rob Doolittle Email & Phone Number

Robert P. Doolittle Jr. is a team player and a team leader with the experience, expertise and enthusiasm to get the job done. A 25-year veteran of theatrical marketing and finishing, he can see both the creative big picture and oversee the small details of production. Rob began his career as a VFX artist at Digital Domain, where so many special effects folks have gotten their starts. While there he honed his technical skills, working in visual effects editorial on the blockbuster Titanic, among other name projects. He later moved on to become director of editorial, Features, at Company 3, where he built the Digital Intermediate Department into one of the leading units of its kind. In that capacity, Rob brought in other artists, supervised them, and saw to it that they developed professionally along with the company. Under start-up pressure, he grew the workflow to match the workload; in other words, Rob found a way to get what had to be done done, enabling Company 3 not just to survive its own growth spurt but to thrive. For the last decade or so, Rob has primarily worked as a consultant and freelance finishing artist in theatrical marketing, handling everything from feature films to movie trailers to TV advertising spots. His specialty: Making sure every frame is crisp, clean and correct even on the tightest of schedules and, sometimes, budgets. Much of this work has been done via a vendor relationship with Paramount Studios, where one of Rob’s classic saves included shrinking the FX-makeup gap between the front teeth of the actor playing Elton John in Rocketman. Those details matter, and Rob prides himself on leaving every project he touches ready to be watched by a paying audience. Rob demands no less of the artists who surround him, and his laconic southern style belies his strong, and tough when needed, managerial skills. He not only recognizes a team’s strength and weaknesses, he knows how to make the most of what he has at hand. Having built up two-plus decades of relationships across all aspects of the industry also means that he knows who to hire and who to trust. Born in Houston, raised in Florida, and a graduate of the University of Tennessee, Rob’s love of movies drew him to Los Angeles and his talent has kept him here, where he lives with his wife and two children.

Listed skills include Avid, Final Cut Pro, Commercials, Broadcast, and 19 others.
