As a visual effects artist, Wade creates composite images for feature films, digitally modifying sets (and actors, and you-name-it), integrating live-action greenscreen and CG elements, executing complex wire & rig removals, and performing acts of digital color correction and image manipulation of all kinds.

With over 30 feature film credits to date, as well as various TV shows, music videos, commercials and web projects, Wade brings a wealth of practical experience and creative problem-solving to every shot. His training in traditional optical printing, on-set experience, and enthusiasm for film, its history and its future, give him a unique perspective on the art and craft of visual effects.
