David Gidali

“I was fortunate enough to work closely with David over many months when he supervised the VFX work for 9-1-1 at FuseFX. He is one of those natural storytellers that is always striving for a seamless/minimalist approach to invisible VFX, and a natural/integrated look when explosions are called for. His work for our show often had him supervising on-set and working extensively with the client in pre-production. His contributions toward SMART solutions over BIG swings saved the project time and money over and over. David's approach to VFX keeps story at the center of every decision. He brings an audience-centered awareness that always gets the most out of time and energy expended. As a supervisor David leads with grace and professionalism, always bringing the best out of those working under him. He was a joy to work with and I would jump at the chance to work with him again under any circumstances. Any team would be lucky to have him, as he will get you bang for your buck at every turn, bring the most out of his team, and keep a level head when crunch time hits.”

“I was so fortunate to get to work with David this year. What an amazing director he is -I was referred to him by a friend who knew that I worked in After Effects, and David was so wonderful with setting me up to be a successful VFX coordinator. I always jump at the chance to learn new programs, and I’m a pretty organized person to begin with, so with David’s patience and clear instruction, I was able to slide right into his team and get to work. I hope I get the pleasure of coordinating another one of his VFX projects in the future!”
