Rushes Postproduction Ltd. has signed visual effects artist Dave Kiddie.
He has built up an impressive list of credits over the last seven years, gaining extensive experience on high-end commercials for the likes of Coca-Cola and Barclays, as well as working on music videos for some of the worlds biggest artists, including Kylies Cant Get You Out Of My Head and The Streets Blinded by the Lights. He has also worked on slick and stylized feature films such as MEAN MACHINE and broadcast work for the BBC.
During his degree in Fine Art, Kiddie became interested in using photographic techniques to create multi-layer images. This, in turn, led onto digital manipulation, an equally creative process and one that inspired him to concentrate on vfx as a career. Since then, he has creative experience working at companies such as MPC, CFS and Red.
Kiddie joins Rushes lineup of vfx artists, including Paul Hannaford and Matt Jackson, as well as digital matte painter Charles Darby.
Rushes md Joce Capper said, We are thrilled to be adding another talented member to our visual effects team. Dave has a fantastic reputation, reinforced by the impressive body of work behind him. His work is some of the most creative in the industry and he is sure to prove an asset to the company.
Kiddie added, I have always immensely enjoyed working on projects at Rushes in the past so am delighted to finally be joining them on a full-time basis. Their varied client base will enable me to work on a wide range of amazing projects alongside some of the best creative artists in the world.
