Hi! I'm Tien, a VFX Artist with over 10 years of experience in visual effects and 6 years working on feature films for both local and international productions. I've worked on theatrical films, TV commercials, music videos, and streaming projects for platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO... I also spent 3 years as a VFX Lead and 3D Supervisor at Bonjour Saigon, collaborating closely with directors, agencies, and international clients on high-end commercial productions. Besides working in production, I'm also a lecturer teaching Cinematic Visual Effects at a university in Vietnam. I enjoy sharing knowledge just as much as creating visual effects. ### What I do * Compositing * Green screen / Keying * CG Integration * Matchmove & Camera Tracking * Cleanup & Paint * Rotoscoping * Motion Graphics * Video Editing * Color Finishing ### Software * Nuke * After Effects * 3DEqualizer * Silhouette FX * Mocha Pro * Houdini * Blender * Premiere Pro * DaVinci Resolve I believe good VFX should support the story, not distract from it. My approach is always practical: understand the shot, choose the right technique, communicate clearly, and deliver work that blends naturally into the final image. If you're looking for someone reliable, easy to work with, and experienced in both commercial and film production, I'd be happy to help. Feel free to send me a message and tell me about your project.
