A little about me

Hi there, my name is Michael Wilde – but you’ve probably guessed that by now. I’ve been a VFX artist for over 8 years in both London and Vancouver.

For a nice visual summary of my work please check out my Reel on the home page and there is a breakdown of it in the Youtube description. A list of all the shows I’ve worked on can be found on my IMDB on the contact page.

For the most up to date CV or a PDF copy please get in contact.
