Andrew Buzby - Digital Artist

I am a VFX freelancer based out of New York City. A filmmaker and digital artist who specializes in visual effects, virtual production and 3D art.

Since I was young, I've wanted to make my ideas a reality. Whether that's through compositing holograms into footage I record on my IPhone, or using the newest virtual production technology to place someone in a 3D space, I've always strived to create the most with what I have.

As a student at Syracuse, I've learned a lot about the fundamentals of filmmaking. I am very grateful for the amazing professors that taught me about the importance of intentional decisions in my art. Everyday, technology is making it easier to merge live footage with 3D elements. I am passionate to use those technologies in tandem with my traditional film background to create stunning art in a brand new way.

Most of my work is done in AfterEffects and Blender. I have experience on set using virtual production tools like Lightcraft Jetset and extensive camera, light and production equipment knowledge. I also have coding experience and have coded tools in Python, C++, Javascript and Haskell. These tools primarily assist my day to day as a VFX freelancer.

Being a student at Syracuse has been invaluable for on set experience. All Film seniors are required to write, shoot and edit a thesis film in their last year. My film, Nothing Forever, includes complicated CG elements that I am working on currently. The film will be out in early May 2025.
