Smoke and Mirrors has added post-production and visual effects veteran Brian Benson to its New York team.
Benson, who has worked as a freelancer for the past four years, has 16 years of experience in all aspects of the post-production and visual effects pipelines. His experience includes pitching, evaluating and breaking down boards, bidding, beauty retouch, match moving, composting, CG integration, online editing and VFX supervisions.
“Having Brian here gives us a massive technical edge and he compliments the team here perfectly,” said Smoke & Mirrors CCO Sean Broughton. “He is well known, well liked and well-respected, working in every genre and with pretty much every agency in town. We’re very proud to add him to the roster.”
Benson has earned a Clio for work with AT&T, a BDA Gold for his TNT spots, a BDA Gold for his Nickelodeon campaign, and an IMA and BDA for his work with Showtime Networks. Before going freelance, Benson worked at Saucer Attack Inc., PostWorks, NY, Black Logic, Tape House Editorial, and Telezign.
