First Name: Marcus
Last Name: LeVere
Birthday: Tue 22 Jan 1974 (38 years old)
Gender: Male
About Me: I moved to Santa Monica and started working at POP Film back in 1999. Since then I've created hundreds of shots for a variety of feature film, commercial, and episodic television projects. I posses a good mix of on-the-box technical knowledge, artistic ability and management skills. I have extensive experience in all of the aspects of feature animation and vfx, from modeling and rigging to pipeline and compositing. I'm also calm under pressure, easy going, and good at motivating teams.

As well as being a digital artist and supervisor, I have designed and built many shot trackers, project managers and production pipelines, in all manner of systems, from windows sharepoint servers to Google Apps.

I also created this website vfxConnection.com in 2005 to help connect artists and recruiters

Marcus and I worked together for a Target commercial, and I was very pleased to have him on my show. He did a fine job of things and was a nice person to have around. He did try to stab me with a fork one day, but hey, who hasn't?

Marcus was a real pleasure to work with. Extremely knowledgable and always ready to lend a helping hand. He is extremely talented technically, and artistically. I really enjoyed working with him and hope that I get that opportunity again.

Marcus is always fun to work with. He brings such a good vibe and professionalism to the crew! The Matte Department at Frantic is literally parting our clouds right now :)

Marcus is a one in a million. He has a great attitude, respectful leadership skills, highly organized, and extremely talented. His communication skills are the best I've come across. Most importantly, he has tremendous integrity. Lucky are those who've had the opportunity to work with him.

Marcus is a great leader, we worked together on smallville. Direct, funny and stress less, he is the kind of sup that any would like to work with. I'm also a huge fan of his matte-paintings and set-extensions. A GREAT ARTIST!
