Cory Lee

Founder/ VFX Supervisor

Senior Nuke Compositor

With over 2 decades of experience working in Visual Effects and a lifetime of training as a second generation compositor, Cory has supervised and led the delivery of thousands of high quality VFX shots for a variety of feature films and television shows.

 

Beginning his Visual Effects career in 2002 and artist career in 2007, he has since built up a vast repertoire of compositing skills. In 2010, Cory stepped into the world of stereoscopy, first working in the stereo conversion industry. With a natural eye for it, he quickly began to train and lead other artists in delivering photo-realistic 3D conversion. With that experience, he transitioned to native stereo 3D for the production of The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 where he developed specific tools for compositing with native 3D images and supervised a team as they delivered hundreds of compositing and CG shots. Cory then went back into 2D compositing and worked as a freelance Senior/Lead Compositor and Compositing Supervisor on a wide range of productions. Starting in 2017, Cory went on to supervise a team to help deliver seamless invisible VFX work on David Fincher's Netflix original series Mindhunter (seasons 1 and 2) and Amazon's original series Homecoming.

In July 2019, Cory founded Alcove Visual Effects, inc. with the goal to provide his clients with high quality VFX that works well within each project's budget using his creative techniques and strategies.

 

Through the recent Covid years, Cory has not only Supervised projects with Alcove Visual Effects but has joined forces with other companies as a sub-contract VFX compositor to help deliver hundreds of VFX shots for TV shows and movies.
