VFX supervision.
A clear path
to delivery.

I’m Marcus LeVere. I help directors, producers, and studios turn demanding ideas into finished work, from the first VFX plan to the final frame.

01 / How I can help

Protect the vision.
Make the work possible.

Bring me in to lead the visual effects, work through a technical challenge, or give your production a clearer plan.

VFX supervision

Keep the director’s vision clear from script breakdown to final shot. I connect shoot planning, on-set capture, vendor direction, and creative review so every team understands what the image needs.

  • Script & shot breakdowns
  • On-set supervision
  • Vendor & shot reviews

AI & creative technology

Find where a new tool helps, then build a workflow your team can use. I bring hands-on experience in machine learning and virtual production to prototypes, technical planning, and practical evaluation.

  • AI workflow development
  • Virtual production planning
  • Prototypes & team handoff

Production planning & systems

Turn creative ambition into a shared view of scope, cost, and responsibilities. I develop bidding structures and production workflows that help producers, artists, and vendors make informed decisions.

  • Bidding & resource planning
  • Vendor coordination
  • Shot tracking & review

I’ve worked on the image, led the artists, and built the systems behind them.

That perspective connects the creative and technical conversations. I can work through what a director wants, what a shoot needs to capture, and what the team needs to finish it.

FROM PRODUCTION PROBLEMS TO WORKING TOOLS

I don’t just use tools.
I build them.

My software projects put the same approach into practice: identify a real need, build something useful, and keep the creator in control.

04 / How I work

Build the team.
Protect the director’s vision.

Good supervision creates clarity. Artists know what matters. Production knows where the risk is. The director can see the work moving toward the right target.

I bring a hands-on approach, direct communication, and respect for the craft. New technology earns its place when it helps people make better work.

01

Start with the intent.

Understand the story, the image, and the constraints before choosing the technique.

02

Show the work early.

Make assumptions visible and give the team something concrete to respond to.

03

Keep decisions connected.

Bring creative direction, resources, and delivery into the same conversation.

Before we talk

A few useful
starting points.

When should I bring you into a production?

As early as possible, ideally while the script, creative approach, and budget are still taking shape. I can also join around a specific need, such as shoot preparation, vendor planning, a technical prototype, or a VFX review process.

Do you work outside Vancouver?

Yes. I’m based in Vancouver and work with teams worldwide. Remote collaboration, travel, and on-site requirements can be discussed around your production’s location and schedule.

Can you help us decide where AI is useful?

Yes. We can start with the problem you want to solve, test a focused workflow, and evaluate the output with the people who will use it. Quality, consistency, review, and your production’s requirements come before adopting a new tool.

What should I include in a project inquiry?

A short description of the project, the kind of support you need, your target dates, and where the team is based. If you have an estimated VFX scope or budget range, that helps frame a useful first conversation. Please keep confidential material out of the initial email.

Let’s make something worth seeing.

What are
you working on?

Tell me what you want to make, where the challenge is, and when you need to move. Let’s talk about how I can help.

A project outline, target dates, and the support you need are a great place to start.
