Meet The Fam

  • I'm Josh George, a lead effects simulation artist with over a decade of experience in the visual effects industry. I began my career as a motion graphics and VFX generalist, but soon discovered my passion for effects simulation. I spent seven years at Playfight, a boutique VFX studio, where I honed my ability to balance artistic vision with technical skills, and learned to problem-solve quickly and efficiently.

    Since then, I've worked on major projects like The Mandalorian and Star Trek Discovery at Pixomondo, and am now a lead FX artist at Folks VFX, having worked on such shows as Wednesday Adams and Titans season 3 & 4. I take pride in my recent achievement having developed advanced crowd collisions on Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, which earned me a VES nomination. Through my technical expertise and problem-solving skills, I'm able to create stunning simulations that bring scenes to life while staying true to the director's vision.

  • Hi there! My name is Michelle George and I'm currently a compositing supervisor at Folks VFX. I began my journey as a stereo compositor at Legend 3D. During my time there, I gained a solid technical understanding of compositing that laid the foundation for my future work.

    After that, I moved on to Pixomondo where I spent 3.5 years as a compositor. This was an exciting time for me as I worked on high-profile projects such as the Mandalorian and Star Trek Discovery. It was during this period that I truly honed my craft and developed a passion for visual effects.

    Since then, I've continued to grow and excel in my career. I joined Folks VFX as a lead compositor on Spider-Man: No Way Home and eventually moved up to become a compositing supervisor for Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities and Ant-Man Quantomania. My attention to detail, resourcefulness, and creativity have helped me stand out in the industry, and I look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible in visual effects.

  • Roto, the Goldendoodle, was born into a family of VFX artists. His parents were top-notch digital wizards, and they passed their creative genes onto him. From a young age, Roto knew he was meant to be in the VFX industry.

    As a pup, Roto spent most of his days under Josh's desk at various VFX studios, watching and learning from the best in the business. He was like a sponge, soaking up every bit of knowledge he could. And when he wasn't studying, he was chasing tennis balls around the office, perfecting his hand-eye coordination for when he would inevitably become a motion capture performer.

    One of Roto's most peculiar quirks was his obsession with the sound of explosions. Instead of cowering in fear like most dogs, Roto would tilt his head and listen with fascination as the rumble filled the room. His parents couldn't explain it, but they had a feeling it was a sign that Roto was destined to work on action-packed films.

    As Roto grew older, he honed his skills and became a master of all things VFX. His work was so stunning that he became known as the "Golden Boy" of the industry. But even with all the fame and recognition, Roto never forgot his roots. He still loved nothing more than curling up under Josh's desk and watching the magic happen.

    So, if you're ever on a VFX set and you see a Goldendoodle running around, chasing tennis balls and wagging his tail at the sound of explosions, you'll know that it's Roto, the one and only VFX superstar.
