James McDonald 3D

Hello!
My name is James McDonald and I am a senior post production artist. I work in the advertising industry and specialise in include computer-generated imagery (CGI), creative photographic retouching and post production pipeline development. I excel at anticipating production problems and developing solutions to ensure the the problems never eventuate.

I am a freelance artist traditionally based in Sydney, Australia however I am now living abroad with a completely location independent lifestyle. There is so much to experience that working in one place was simply not going to cut it!

Previously I have held the roles of senior CGI artist at Prodigious Brand Logistics where I worked for major global brands and the Head of 3D and Retouching at BMF Advertising where I lead a team of artists and on some of the biggest national accounts.

I take on projects of all shapes and sizes and pride myself on my ability to deliver the large-scale results of a bigger studio for a fraction of the price. I am experienced at many forms of digital art andhave also worked in many photographic studios. I am very familiar with the entire production workflow from pre through to post.
