Dario Bonito, Senior VFX Compositor

Senior compositor with eight years in film and episodic VFX, working between London, Dublin, Cambridge and Milan. Nuke specialist with a solid grounding in photographic principles, multi-pass and deep compositing and the wider 3D workflow: from render passes and CG integration through to final delivery.
