From VFX Artist to Director. I'm taking what I learned on Hollywood movies (Star Wars IX, Deadpool, Across the Spiderverse) to make films of my own in Unreal Engine! Join me as I breakdown the whole process. Hit subscribe to watch the journey! Instagram: @joshtoonen FYI I'm looking for a Video + Shorts Editor who is experienced in After Effects. Email or DM me.
