Fin Shanghai bolsters VFX team with four new appointments across several departments
Over the past several months Fin Shanghai has recruited some of the best talent in the industry to further strengthen their VFX offering across several key departments.
With over two decades of experience, including the past four in Shanghai, Senior Colourist Nick Barton has joined Fin as one of the top colourists in Australasia. His talent coupled with an efficient working style and engaging personality has already won him many fans in Shanghai and beyond.
Segundo Fernandez has joined the team in the role of VFX Supervisor. Prior to running the 2D team at Fin Shanghai, Fernandez was leading projects at some of the best post production companies throughout Europe. As a point person for Fin, he will be working very closely with directors and producers on jobs from bidding to finish.
The latest addition to the Fin team is Kosta Lagis who will take on the position of CG Supervisor. Lagis has been working in TVC and film since 1997 and has spent the past five years supervising a team of artists at the world renowned Weta Digital in New Zealand.
Fin has also recently welcomed Senior Producer, Caryne Chia who has immediately become an integral part of the production team. Chia’s experience and technical knowledge on top of her bright personality and cool demeanour make her a perfect fit for the department.
Group Managing Director, Emma Daines says, “For me, it’s always been about the importance of establishing a strong core team. Caryne brings experience to the Production Team and a valuable support to Billy. Segundo, Kosta and Nick will further fuel our global creative team and are a formidable force leading our Shanghai team. I am delighted they are on board.”
Managing Director of Shanghai, Billy Becket, is equally excited, “Recruiting even one or two of these outstanding talents would be considered a massive win for the office. We’re unbelievably lucky to have brought on four of them.”
