We are very happy to announce today that our Senior Creative Team has expanded with the arrival of VFX Supervisor, Nicolas Hernandez and CG Supervisor, Kevin Hoppe. Both Kevin and Nicolas have been brought in as a result of the growing roster of high-profile projects and will be an integral part of our continued growth.

Nicolas Hernandez VFX Supervisor

Nicolas joins Jellyfish Pictures after six years at multi-award-winning London based VFX studio, Milk Visual Effects, of which he was also a co-founder. He brings with him an inordinate amount of experience having racked up an enviable list of credits, including, films 4 Kids And It, Annihilation, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, Snow White and the Huntsman, The Divergent Series: Insurgent, VFX Oscar winning; Ex-Machina, High-Rise and 47 Ronin; and for television; Altered Carbon, 24: Live Another Day, and BBC One’s Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, which earned Hernandez and his team a BAFTA Television Craft Award for Visual Effects and Graphic Design in 2016.

I am very excited to have joined Jellyfish Pictures. It is a refreshing prospect to be working in an impressive new studio on diverse and unique projects with an abundance of genuine and collaborative talented artists. I am looking forward to mixing my experience in with the company’s exciting future.

Kevin Hoppe CG Supervisor

Kevin joins us from US VFX studio, Crafty Apes VFX, where he worked as CG Supervisor on season three of Netflix’s award-winning Stranger Things. Before his time at Crafty Apes, Kevin held senior positions at DNEG and DreamWorks Animation, with an impressive list of credits including, Home, Turbo, How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda 2.

The creative and positive energy of Jellyfish Pictures is a rare find. The people are so friendly, the work is brilliant, and the projects are challenging and engaging. I knew right away that Jellyfish was going to be my new home. I take great joy in managing teams and finding the best solution to any challenge, be it creative or in a team, and look forward to integrating these skills into the great talent at Jellyfish.
