Lech Gruszewski

Compositing / VFX · Motion Design · 3D Animation

[Profile]Compositor and motion designer with more than 20 years of experience. Since 2019 I have been a compositing artist at WFF (Wrocław Feature Film Studio), working on feature films, TV series and stop-motion animation. Credits include The Peasants (Chłopi), Lalka, Broad Peak and Brokat (Netflix). I have also worked with Platige Image, ORKA and Human. I combine compositing with motion design: from VFX shot integration and clean-up to animated titles, on-screen graphics and HUDs. I create 3D animation and motion design for commercials, films and exhibitions, from Cinema 4D to final compositing in Nuke and After Effects, combining classic craft with generative-AI video production. Since 2013 I have been teaching After Effects courses.
