Mike Oakley

Artist / Supervisor / Art Director

I’m a senior VFX artist and CG generalist with over 20 years of experience delivering high-end visual effects for feature films, television, and commercials. My work spans the full production pipeline from modeling and texturing to lighting and look development with a focus on creating visually compelling, technically precise results.

I’m known for stepping in where the challenge is greatest handling environments, FX, characters, and vehicles with equal efficiency and attention to detail. Whether leading a sequence or integrating seamlessly into an existing team, I bring the experience, speed, and problem-solving mindset to deliver on schedule and at quality.

If you’re looking for a dependable artist who can elevate your visuals and deliver production-ready results from day one, let’s connect.
