VFX

Hi, I’m Johnny Grilo , a VFX Supervisor based in London.

​

Outside of my main role, I’m always looking to collaborate on exciting side projects. I’m especially interested in connecting with directors and students working on productions where VFX is essential but budget is limited.

If you’re looking for creative problem-solving and practical support, I can help with concept design, planning, bidding, on-set supervision, and VFX reviews.

Let’s make something great together.
