👋 Hey, I'm Harry

I'm an devoted Technical Compositing Artist working in the film industry. Proficient in animated content with experience in live action. I love being able to take animation and bring it to life with Lighting and Compositing. I strive for my work to resonate with you on an emotional level or deceive you into believing its real. In my spare time, you can find me playing games, watch movies, cooking and working on my own projects. If you are interested in my work, feel free to contact me
