Behind the scenes.

about-me-picture-1

Hey there, I’m Bernd Alexander Koch, a Nuke compositor from Austria working in high-end television and feature film since 2021.

My background started in production and editing before moving into visual effects, where I found my focus in compositing and shot finishing. I specialize in CG integration, cleanup, keying, and complex plate work, often solving shot challenges under tight production deadlines.

What I value most in this work is collaboration, working closely with artists across departments to keep shots consistent, efficient, and aligned with the story.
