The Mill has promoted Ruben Vandebroek to joint head of 3D, accompanying Vince Baertsoen, in its New York studio.
Vandebroek previously served as 3D VFX supervisor. He brings invaluable on-set and supervisory experience which has made way for his new role where he will be pioneering the technical cutting edge and visionary projects for the 3D department.
He has collaborated across an array of high-profile brands, agencies and directors. These projects include Johnnie Walker’s “Rock Giant” with director Peter Thwaites, Nike’s “Hypervenom: Mirrors ft Neymar Jr” and Google’s “Play Your Heart Out” with director Johnny Green and NFL’s “Timeline” with Peter Berg.
“With the growing landscape of what is possible in CGI,” said Angus Kneale, executive creative director at The Mill NY, we need leaders with hands on experience to guide the team. I am excited to have Vince and Ruben working together [as joint heads of 3D] at this level.”
