Background

About John Thorstensson

VFX Producer | Post-Production Specialist I'm a VFX Producer with a passion for visual storytelling and a proven track record of delivering award winning visuals across film, television, advertising, and digital media. I specialize in guiding complex productions from concept to final delivery—ensuring every shot not only meets creative vision, but also stays on track in terms of time and budget. My strength lies in bridging the gap between artistic ambition and technical execution. I collaborate closely with directors, producers, supervisors, and artists to align creative goals with production realities, managing everything from pre-production planning and budgeting to scheduling, vendor coordination, and delivery. With a background as both a 3D and 2D artist, I bring a hands-on understanding of the tools and techniques that power visual effects. This allows me to communicate effectively with both artists and stakeholders, solving challenges quickly and building trust across departments. I’m also passionate about mentorship—supporting junior talent through feedback, career advice, and real-world insight to help them grow in this fast-evolving field. My experience extends into sound post-production as well, having worked alongside sound studios on design and mixing—giving me a well-rounded perspective on the entire post-production process. Key Strengths: • End-to-end VFX & Post-Production Management • Budgeting, Scheduling & Cross-Team Coordination • Vendor Management & Delivery Oversight • Team Leadership & Mentorship • Technical Insight in 3D/2D/Editing Workflows • Understanding of Sound Post-Production
