VFX SUPERVISOR REEL

Testimonials

Chris had a really, really good eye of what looks good and what doesn't look good, and sometimes I think that's often overlooked when you're working with vendors. When it comes to artistic endeavours, Chris was really top of the list in terms of coming up with looks that really nailed Barry's vision.

Hoyt Yeatman, VFX Supervisor - A Series of Unfortunate Events

When I came on the show, ILM was the primary/only vendor. One of my first tasks was to recruit some additional vendors and divide up the work. CVD was recommended to us by ILM, so that put them high on our list to begin with. Working with CVD was a great experience. Very easy to communicate with, clearly experienced in what they do, very receptive to notes and quick to address them. Organized (which was extremely important and very appreciated on this project). The work was exemplary. CVD quickly became one of the vendors the director and production could rely on and became one of the primary vendors I could depend on — a great working experience!

Roger Nall, VFX Supervisor - 12 Strong

CVD has always been very easy to work with while producing consistently excellent work. They're imminently accessible. Dialogue with CVD is clear and concise. They've been more than willing to help us find creative solutions to some thorny challenges. I value the relationship we've developed and look forward to working with them more in the future.

Curtis Crick, VFX Supervisor - The Magicians

Barry was very impressed after one session with Chris van Dyck – and I can tell you that Barry was very hard to impress! The Opera environment, corridor, and balcony were extremely impressive, as was the interior of the hotel. CVD found a perfect balance between Barry's stylized look and the necessary photo reality required to engage the audience. It was always a tricky balance which CVD navigated perfectly.

Tom Horton, VFX Producer - A Series of Unfortunate Events

When it came to came to the vfx / art direction there was only one person that the Supervisor and I felt we could turn to, and that was Chris. Once we started to work on developing the ‘look’, Chris quickly understood the challenge and he delivered and exceeded the expectations.
