Supervisor | Lead | Senior
Compositing Specialist

My name is Michael Viera, and I’m based in Duluth, Georgia. My foundation is in Nuke-based compositing, and over the past decade I’ve applied those skills across feature films, episodics, and commercials – both live-action and animated. Whether guiding a team, solving complex comps, or building tools to improve efficiency, I bring ownership, adaptability, and a strong focus on collaboration. I care deeply about the work itself, but even more about the people who make it possible.
