James Rogers ︎ VFX Supervisor & Creative Director
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Feature Film
I’m going to enormously date myself here, but I started working on this film in 1997, and finished it in 2001. It was a huge undertaking, and massive in scale, detail and time. It set a high-water mark at the time for “realistic” CG. I was compositing supervisor on this film and also did the digital colour grade.

What I do

A visual effects supervisor is basically a visual problem solver. I try and recruit ideas from a variety of sources—new, old, borrowed or transposed from other disciplines and industries; curiosity drives me. But ultimately, I am an creative image-maker first and foremost.

I closely collaborate with others and keep a holistic view of the process—delivering creatively, on time, on budget. I excel at logistically complicated projects and team building.
