Andy Robinson

Andy Robinson? Oh, that guy’s a straight-up legend in the VFX world. If you’ve ever caught yourself gawking at the magic in the Harry Potter movies, you’ve definitely seen his handiwork—no joke. This dude’s got shelves full of awards, like three Canadian Screen Awards (not easy to snag, by the way), and he even landed a Primetime Emmy nom. That’s some serious respect from the industry. He’s been in the game for over two decades, which basically means he’s seen all the wild changes—from clunky digital effects back in the early 2000s to today’s mind-blowing, photoreal stuff that’ll have you questioning what’s real and what’s not. Andy’s all about blending things so flawlessly you can’t spot the seams. Like, you’ll be staring at a dragon or some epic magic spell and not even realize it’s all pixels and wizardry because he’s just that good. What’s wild is, he’s not tied down to any big studio these days. He’s out there hustling as an independent VFX vendor, picking up cool projects left and right. And he’s always keeping up with the latest tools—if there’s a new trick in the book, he’s already tried it and probably improved on it. Basically, if there’s a blockbuster or buzzy TV show with jaw-dropping effects, Andy’s fingerprints could be all over it. The guy’s a master at making the impossible look effortless.
