Jon Neill is one of the VFX Supervisors at Cinesite, and Creative COWs Tim Wilson spoke with him from the companys London office. A conversation that began with Jons recent work on Monuments Men wound up taking in James Bond, John Carter, and some very practical advice for VFX artists who want to grow into leadership roles. Creating a realistic background for a bombed-out city is harder than it sounds; make it too real, and it looks fake. That assessment is coming from Cinesite VFX Supervisor Jon Neill, a guy who has also created compelling front-and-center foreground elements for some of the biggest VFX features of the past 20+ years, for franchises like Harry Potter, James Bond and the X-Men. Jons work at Cinesite began as an artist, moving up through lighting, to lead lighting, then Sequence Supervisor and CG Supervisor before he became one of Cinesites VFX Supervisors. Features hes worked on in a leadership role have included The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy as CG Supervisor, and in his first two jobs as a Cinesite VFX Supervisor, John Carter, and Skyfall.
