Top SchoolNicholas Daniels is a VFX supervisor and consultant with 13+ years of hands-on experience delivering high-end film, episodic, commercial, and VR visual effects from look development through final delivery. He blends creative leadership with technical fluency—particularly Nuke, Flame, Python scripting, and studio tools like Shotgrid, FTrack and Prism—to build pipelines that let small teams punch above their weight. Nicholas has supervised multi-project workflows at Crafty Apes and built a one-person 4K/8K finishing pipeline at Blumhouse, demonstrating an ability to engineer practical solutions under tight delivery specs. He mentors compositors, designs onboarding and QC tooling, and frequently bridges production and pipeline teams to standardize quality across shows. Now consulting at Endy Arts, he helps creatives adopt emerging AI-backend technologies while preserving familiar VFX workflows. Based in Los Angeles, he pairs a formal animation education with a habit of shipping useful Python tools that quietly accelerate studio work.
