ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Francesco – Senior Lighter and Compositor with over 10 years of experience in the VFX and Animation industry, working on AAA projects for studios such as Framestore, Jellyfish Pictures and Bluezoo.

These collaborations have allowed me to contribute to high-profile projects for major studios such as Marvel, Disney, and DreamWorks.

I have held Lead roles, guiding both  lighting and compositing on complex shots, taking full responsibility for visual quality and consistency.

In addition to compositing and lighting, I bring cross-disciplinary skills as a LookDev and Environment Artist, capable of supporting complete pipelines and helping the team define the final look of characters, assets, and environments.

I work with modern USD-based pipelines and tools like Houdini, Nuke and I am actively exploring the integration of Generative AI workflows to optimize creative processes and enhance visual quality.

Currently, I operate as a remote freelancer from Italy, collaborating with global teams on high-end projects. My approach combines technical leadership, creative problem-solving, and attention to detail, with the goal of delivering each shot as a polished result, fully aligned with the artistic vision of the project.

Some of the notable productions I’ve worked on include:
The twits, Dog man, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Nautilus, The book of Boba Fett, Spirit Untamed and How to train your Dragon  among many others.

If you are looking for a senior professional able to lead lighting, compositing and cross-disciplinary tasks, while bringing innovation and quality to AAA projects, committed to delivering high-quality, innovative results on ambitious projects.
