Boutique VFX studio Artjail has bolstered its creative team with the appointment of Josh Guillaume as VFX supervisor. Based out of Artjails’ newest studio in Santa Monica, LA, Josh will be an integral addition to supercharge the company’s growth and development within the region and beyond.
With nearly a decade of experience in film and post production, Josh has worked at post and animation studios including Framestore, MPC, ETC, and Blur Studio. He has also been responsible for directing commercials for a number of clients such as Dell, Amazon and Extra gum.
Josh’s expertise spans 2d, 3d, pre-production and post, working in both creative and technical roles across live action, animation and new media. His career highlights include compositing supervision on ‘Free Solo: 360’ – a virtual reality short that won a Creative Art Emmy in Interactive Media and acting as compositing lead on multiple seasons of ‘Love, Death & Robots’, for episodes such as ‘Pop Squad’ and ‘Swarm’. Commercially, Josh was VFX supervisor on Webtoon’s first US campaign helmed by the agency and company, directed by Matt Hoffman of HB Films.
As part of Artjail, Josh will work closely with agency creatives and directors to help bring ideas to fruition. Crucially, his experience as a director allows him to work in close collaboration with the studio’s network of directors they frequently work with, offering advice and problem solving on any issues that arise in pre-production.
John Skeffington, managing director and partner commented, “We’re so pleased to welcome Josh to the team. He’s one of those rare creatives who can do almost anything he sets his mind to. As the LA office continues to grow and we add incredible talent, this is the next step in our evolution to offer stronger and stronger creative services. We are very excited to see the work Josh produces with our team.”
Josh Guillaume, VFX supervisor, added, “I’m thrilled to have joined Artjail. They’re a studio I’ve long admired for their focus, craft, and culture. You can see it in the talent they’ve brought together, and I’m proud to be a part of it. I look forward to growing our LA footprint, and continuing to push our creative collaborations.”
