Matthew Steeves
Picture Editor (VFX)
ON - Ontario District Council
I have a unique combination of knowledge and skills gained over 22+ years of working in the film and television industry at all levels of production. My area of expertise is VFX Editorial.
As your VFX Editor, my goals are to:
1) give you a visual launching point for your VFX discussions and development
2) assemble a first draft of desired VFX concepts as quickly as possible, and present colour corrected and integrated temps for your pitches
3) accurately track every step of development of your vendor’s VFX work
4) present the latest and greatest VFX work in context of your story while working closely with your VFX vendors; and
5) deliver final high resolution 2D VFX composites of my own work directly to DI when needed.
My experience in these facets of production allow me to work effectively as a VFX Editor:
- With past experience as a 2D VFX Composite Artist I am able to pre-assemble VFX elements and present them in context quickly and efficiently.
- As a trained and experienced Avid Online Editor, I am able to work closely with your editorial team and operate as an effective liaison between Offline and Online editorial for smooth and steady workflow.
- While working at reputable VFX vendors, my experience using Shotgun as a VFX Editor has led me to develop my own custom FileMaker database for tracking thousands of shots from concept to final.
- My experience as a VFX Supervisor allows me to offer solutions and strategies to common challenges and production hurdles.
- And with years of working as an Operations Manager at a successful post-production facility earlier in my career having handled hundreds of episodes for television, I have more than a firm grasp on the technical requirements of film craft.
Let me help you conceptualize, assemble, and present your VFX work as it is being created - and then track, package, and deliver your VFX work as it is being completed. I will organize, sort, assemble, demo, temp comp, cut, re-cut, cut again, QC, package, and deliver your VFX content, on your schedule as your Visual Effects Editor.
Thank you for your consideration.
