Doug Hogan’s Summary

In 2006, I graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design where I double majored in Visual Effects and Film. During my four years there, I spent my time outside of class honing my skills as a visual effects artist on several local productions. Most notably the feature film, "Baby Blues". Which was released on DVD by Illumination Filmworks in August of 2008.

After completing my Bachelors degree at SCAD, I spent the first year of my career doing freelance work for studios across the United States and Canada. Including the stereoscopic IMAX film, "Dinosaurs 3D: Giants of Patagonia". Which was nominated for a 6th Annual VES Award in the 'Outstanding Visual Effects in a Special Venue Project' category.

Since early 2007 I've been working as the Lead Nuke Compositor at the visual effects studio, Speedshape in Detroit. Where I've teamed up with other artists to build and develop their Nuke compositing pipeline from the ground up. And have had the pleasure of working with such brands as General Motors, Chevrolet, Ford, Bush Beans, Mazda, Hummer, Cadillac, Buick, Saturn, Jeep, Saab, Hewlett Packard, Mustang, Jack Daniels, and Audi to name just a few.
