Paddy Eason has been working in film visual effects for about 15 years, first of all as a technical assistant at the Computer Film Company (CFC) in the early '90's, where he started to design digital effects for films such as Mission: Impossible and Eyes Wide Shut and more lately at the Moving Picture Company (MPC) where he has supervised effects work for films such as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkeban and the upcoming Wallace and Gromit feature film.
Paddy looks after the creative and technical supervision of projects with large teams of people with many interlocking skills, but himself comes from a compositing background, and he still tries to do as much hands-on compositing work (in Shake) as he can.
