Vetted Media & Creative Professionals

“Generalist game artist/VFX creator working in a small indie studio, with hands-on experience shipping mobile/VR-friendly real-time effects in Unity (e.g., a bonfire built with Shader Graph plus Shuriken particles). Strong focus on performance tradeoffs for mobile—draw calls, memory, texture atlasing/material reuse—and uses profiling/testing to choose the right approach (shader vs flipbook vs particles).”

“VFX Artist with 2+ years shipping live mobile game content on Power Rangers: Legacy Wars, serving as the sole owner for all character VFX (skills, assists, specials, taunts, intros/outros) and implementing them in-engine via a custom tool. Demonstrates strong real-time optimization instincts (channel-packed textures, Transparent-to-Masked material strategy) and created reusable master materials to keep heavy screen-filling effects performant.”

“Greater Boston-based Director of Photography and camera professional who has led a scrappy, low-budget feature film production end-to-end (often handling lighting setup and camera prep solo) and also shot documentary content on the Vineyard Wind farm. Strong under pressure—describes executing an 8-page day with 30+ actors/extras and minimal preproduction—while staying versatile across Sony/Canon/ARRI cameras, DJI Ronin gimbals, and DJI drones.”

“Video editor and post producer with ~10 years of extensive Adobe Premiere and After Effects experience, including documentary work for an Abu Dhabi media company (UAE National Day) blending archival footage, live footage, and graphics. Experienced in end-to-end longform YouTube post-production workflows and retention-focused storytelling techniques.”

“Videography professional who ran video podcast studios, handling multi-camera production, studio lighting/composition, and end-to-end editing for 45-minute episodes plus short-form social cutdowns. Strong Blackmagic/ATEM workflow experience and a product photography background that translates into polished lighting and framing; comfortable traveling and starting immediately.”

“Youth basketball parent-coach with ongoing one-on-one coaching for an eighth-grade daughter preparing for high school, combined with professional sports media/journalism experience that included regular dialogue with pro scouts. Evaluates players beyond highlights, focusing on coachability, work ethic, and how athletes respond to adversity.”

“Gameplay-focused animator with shipped experience on Fortnite Festival, specializing in mocap cleanup, contact accuracy, and seamless stitched transitions (including timing to varying song BPM). Also delivered UE5-based commercial work (Google basketball spot featuring Steph Curry) using MetaHuman Control Rig and Sequencer, with a strong emphasis on clean, organized Maya-to-UE handoff and retargeting across different character rigs.”

“Music editor/composer focused on longform and web-series content, using chamber-orchestral instrumentation and detailed layering to control tension, comedic timing, and narrative reveals. Works primarily in Logic (also Pro Tools), with a stem-based bussing workflow, Ozone mastering, and reference-track matching to keep mixes consistent across high-volume deliverables.”

“Real-time VFX artist/technical VFX focused on Unity, with hands-on shader and particle-system work. Built a magic shield effect by wiring particle custom data into shader control, and optimized a full-screen rain effect by moving simulation to GPU via VFX Graph and tightening system bounds to reduce overdraw. Uses AI as a practical assistant for shader debugging and rapid prototyping.”
