KIM, DONG JUN (DJ)

I am a VFX artist, compositor, 3D generalist, filmmaker, cinematographer, & visual artist. 

I was born in South Korea, and now, I live in Burbank, CA. I graduated from MFA Computer Arts at School of Visual Arts in NYC in 2018 and BFA from Hong-Ik University, Design & Media / Sculpture in 2012.

I studied visual effects, 3D animation, motion graphics, film&video, and contemporary art. I have worked in design studios, TV stations, film productions. My work balances between commissioned works and autonomous artworks. The projects I work on are varied, from Fine-art to Motion graphics, and Film for commercial or VFX.
