My name is Mark Sniffen, and I am a recent graduate of the School of Film and Animation at the Rochester Institute of Technology.  I focused my studies on the art of digital compositing and match-moving.  Currently I am working on a project that I co-wrote and co-directed with my friend, Andrew Church, called Elysium.  It is a science fiction epic that takes place in space, and involves a ton of visual effects work.  I am solely creating all of the computer generated visuals, both 3D and 2D, and am compositing them into the live action footage that we shot on set.

Hopefully this blog will be an outlet for any interesting techniques or strategies that I find along the way.  I welcome comments, critiques, suggestions, and any questions one might have.
