About

Director, VFX Supervisor and Developer.

I'm Connor Thomas, a filmmaker, director and VFX supervisor based in Los Angeles. Through DeadCow VFX I work across the whole life of a shot, from how it is planned on set to how it is finished in comp.

Supervising visual effects means living between the camera and the computer. When something in the pipeline is slower or harder than it should be, I build the tool that fixes it, and release it so other artists can use it too. That is where AutoLens and GenFill came from.

Everything here comes back to one idea: tools that get out of the way, so artists can just make the art.

What I do

01

Director & filmmaker

Telling the story first, with an eye on how every shot will be finished.

02

VFX supervisor

On set and in post: planning shots, guiding the team, and getting every shot to final.

03

Tools developer

Nuke tools and desktop apps built from real production problems.
