  Hello,

I am a VFX Supervisor and Flame Artist who loves working with Flame. I have experience in TV commercials, music videos, and feature films, and clients have attended creative work sessions with agency creatives and directors.

I have worked with various global brands, including Amazon, Estee Lauder, Coca-Cola Company, P&G, Frito Lay, Unilever, and McLaren.

My primary expertise is online finishing/conforming, compositing 3D and CGI, digital makeup, leading 2D teams, motion graphics, and look development for visual effects. I am also experienced in supervising VFX shoots when required. I am available to work on location or remotely from home on my workstation.

Besides my Flame artist role, I like my job. I am a constant learner, an advocate for great and original work, a good team member, a rusty guitar player, a scale model builder and a science-fiction enthusiast. I just started to learn about AI image and video production with Stable diffusion and ComfyUI. 
And started to read about the AI Agents for tool creation for my own use.

My passion for visual effects began early in high school. Spending time in front of a computer to photoshop my friends and my face to old movie posters like The Matrix (the first one), and Lord of the Rings (obviously the first one). When I studied for a university BFA degree in Visual Communication & Design, I started to work as a graphic designer at a post-production company called Autopsy. (Yeah I know it's a cool name for a post-production company). I also began to assist the flame artists. After I received my degree, I was hired as a Senior Flame Artist role for Autopsy post-production company. (2004)

In a nutshell, my passion for creativity and constant learning is accompanied by the thrill of production. I am not the Flame artist who wants to get a project out the door. (of course, it does not hurt anybody). I am the one who wants to work on moving images, Matching the grain, Color correction, cleaning the rigs and people with them from the frame, Whitening teeth, cleaning the skin pores, animating motion graphics and delivering the best quality video possible, This is what I love to do.

If you are interested in chatting about my high school memories or if you think I could help you with anything, please feel free to call (+44 7437520333) or contact me via email. (baransabuncuoglu@gmail.com)
