VFX Artist and Founding Partner

Jon began his career as a tape operator at London post facility SVC. His rise though the ranks of the emerging digital editing and post-production scene was meteoric. Pioneering work with digital editing earned him a host of Best Editor awards for work with Nike and The Guardian. Cutting edge work on projects such as Dunlop ‘The Unexpected’ and Orange ‘Bar Chase’ earned him numerous awards as a visual effects artist. Jon is alone in having earned the distinction of being both Best Editor & Best Flame Artist in both Campaign & Televisual magazines.

After 8 years as Head of Editing at The Mill, Jon left to co-found the hugely successful visual effects company Smoke & Mirrors. It was both unique and groundbreaking and again he worked on numerous award winning campaigns. The biggest haul coming from the BBC Radio Scotland campaign with design collective Tomato.

Jon began directing in 1999, and has directed award-winning commercials for Schweppes, Sony Playstation, Magic FM and many more. 

Jon left Smoke and Mirrors to concentrate on image making through directing and post production, working seamlessly together. Running a state-of-the-art flame suite and dedicated to keep at the fore-front of technology is a must for Raised by Wolves. “To be at the leading edge is something I feel I can only really achieve in being in charge of the work and the gear, remaining a small company keeps the creativity alive. And at Raised by Wolves this is a must, this is home, this is where all my post production comes together”.

Colourist and Founding Partner

Starting out in dimly lit theatres, moving through dappled Costa Rican jungles and finally finding a natural home in the darkness of the grading suite, Vic’s exceptional eye and sensitivity for detailed work has lead to his being much sought after by new and established directors alike. Vic has immersed himself in projects for Nike, Chanel, O2, and Sony & has worked on films for musicians including Adele, Emeli Sandé and Nick Cave. His vast camera knowledge and ability to apply traditional techniques alongside emerging ones makes him one of the most diverse and cannily resourceful colourists in the industry. His passionate approach to grading has lead to Vic being involved in art projects for the Chapman brothers and work for Alexander McQueen, for whom he graded the famous Kate Moss “Peppers Ghost” projection.
