He supervised visual effects for such films as Blade III, Sin City, Hellboy and The Mist. Everett’s he also supervised the visual effects for Pan’s Labyrinth. In 2007 Everett left Café FX to work as a freelance visual effects supervisor.

“During my stint as on-set supervisor for Warm Bodies, I had the opportunity to work with LOOK,” said Burrell. “I was very impressed with their work and their team. Over the years, they’ve done great work and been part of some very interesting projects. 2013 is going to be an exciting year with some outstanding projects on the horizon.”
