Visual Effects Producing Supervisor (Production HoD)

As head of department for VFX for this zany TV series with over a 1,000 shots for 8 episodes for season 1 and 1,500 for season 2, I over saw all budget, VFX design and editorial supervision from preproduction to delivery. Working with VFX vendors primarily in UK and US.

HAPPY! is based on New York Times best-selling author Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel of the same name. The series follows Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni, Law & Order: SVU) – an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hit man – who is adrift in a world of casual murder, soulless sex and betrayal. After a hit gone wrong, his inebriated life is forever changed by a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy (Patton Oswalt). Written by Grant Morrison, Brian Taylor and Patrick Macmanus, this is a must see TV series I am proud to be a part of.
