Jesse Hildreth’s Summary
I am a visual effects artist just graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design following an internship at Digital Domain on Speed Racer which resulted in being hired full time to complete the show.
I specialize in lighting and look development but have a strong generalist skill set and good experience in hard surface modeling, compositing, and texturing. Just check the reel. If you see something you like, I can do more of it.
I love film and entertainment, thrive under pressure, excel at working with a team, have a genuine interest in going above and beyond, and enjoy learning all I can.
Jesse Hildreth’s Specialties:
Experienced in Maya, Shake, Nuke, mental ray, Photoshop, HDRI, Linux, Final Cut Pro and the ability and desire to learn any program you got.
Knowledgeable in Houdini, Renderman, After Effects, Zbrush, Basic Mel and python scripting (basic)
