Mark Bailey

I have around twenty years of experience in VFX as a Technical Director, CG supervisor and lighting lead.

I use Maya + Arnold as my primary combination, I also use Houdini and am always building on my Python skills for tools development.

Considerably older showreels are still linked below as they show broader variety, as does the Champions-League 2015 brand intro.

Further information

I've a good balance of creative and technically-minded skills in both 2D and 3D departments.
I have worked alongside performers and DJs at the 2013 V-festival and numerous other live events - Creating live VFX and projection mapped visuals using Resolume Arena.
I've worked in Sydney and Istanbul and travelled extensively and am interested in AI and Machine Learning, the sciences and renewable energy developments.

My aim is to help make great looking scenes, coordinate teams, plan projects, write and improve tools and pipelines.
I also tinker with Raspberry Pi Linux PCs, cycle lots and travel when possible.

VFX is my vocation - not just a job; I'm constantly looking to improve my skills.
Current targets: Better Python, learn Unreal and Houdini - specifically PDG and USD.
