Mike Oakley
I am an artist with a passion for creating breathtaking visual effects for film, television, and video games. I have always been fascinated by the art of storytelling and the power of visual effects to transport audiences to new worlds and immerse them in incredible stories.
In my 20+ years, I have had the privilege of working with some of the most talented and creative individuals in the industry, and have been fortunate enough to contribute to some truly amazing projects.
In my work, I strive to push the boundaries of what is possible with visual effects, creating stunning and realistic effects that enhance the storytelling and immerse audiences in new and exciting worlds. Whether it’s a massive explosion, a complex creature, or a breathtaking environment, I approach each project with the same level of dedication, attention to detail, and creativity.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my work as a VFX artist. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you on your next project!

STUDIOS
Vehicle Reel
The decision to employ digital vehicles arises from considerations related to production, including concerns about budgetary constraints, ensuring the safety of talent, and addressing the straightforward issue of high expenses. This is where the utility of Digital Vehicles becomes evident.
SOFTWARE
Character Reel
Bugs, monsters, digital humans—oh my!
While we adore animals, they don’t always make the best actors (cue the squirrel). This is precisely where the use of digital characters comes into play, offering the advantage of directing talent more effectively.
SKILL SET
PRODUCT Reel
Much of the product imagery we encounter isn’t genuine, and rightfully so. No one likes fingerprints all over the new product.
When showcasing your product, you aim for it to appear at its finest, even when reality isn’t cooperating.
