Background

About Danielle Lindenberg

My name is Danielle Lindenberg. I am a visual effects artist and a lighting artist, currently living in South Africa. I have been in the industry for over four years now, focusing mainly in Houdini and Maya. I have worked in advertisement, a TV special and feature length films. I am able to work quickly and meet deadlines, while still maintaining a high standard of work. I love challenging myself, working on technical shots and problem solving. I work well in teams and I’m always ready to help out when needed. I enjoy both the technical aspects, as well as the creative side of visual effects. I'm always eager to learn and challenge myself. As a Visual Effects artist, I am able to work on an array of different effects. This has given me a broad knowledge of Houdini. I have worked closely with the directors to create art directable simulations to push story points. I was also responsible for developing the look of sequence specific effects, as well as tool development to ensure continuity throughout the film. Some effects I was responsible for were dust simulations, large to medium scale ink simulations, as well as flip fluid simulations. As a lighting artist, I worked on cinematic shot lighting in Arnold Maya, ranging from more exaggerated shots to those more subtle in mood. During this time it was important to have good communication with the other artists to ensure continuity within the sequence, while still creating visually appealing shots. I was also responsible for setting up render layers and refining render sampling in Arnold. I had the opportunity to work on some master shot lighting. I have experience in Nuke, bringing in all the render layers for slap comp for director review.
