“Ted brings diverse skills and
a history of delivering excellence,” said FuseFX founder and Visual Effects
Supervisor David Altenau. “His experiences on the set and behind the camera are
great assets that add to the overall depth of our team. We’re excited to have
him.”
Rae began his career as an
animation cameraman at Roger Corman’s New World Pictures. His early experience
included work in makeup effects, stop motion, models and miniatures for such
classic genre titles as Beetlejuice, The Terminator and Night of the Creeps. In recent years, he has balanced VFX supervision
assignments on features and television with high-end television commercials.

Rae says that he was attracted
to FuseFX by their reputation for quality and having the resources to manage
multiple large-scale projects simultaneously. “I was very impressed with their work,
and intrigued by a level of organization that can so effectively allocate resources
toward making great shots,” he observes.

He adds that his experience to
date on Scorpion and Stalker has exceeded his expectations.
“The lead compositors on these shows, Renaud Talon and Andrey Drogobetski, are
two of the fastest, most amazingly adept and talented artists I’ve ever had the
opportunity to work with,” he says. “Their skills make it possible to
quickly push past merely getting shots to work, so we can move on to the goal
of making them as good as they can be.”

in cinematography can help FuseFX grow its capabilities into being able to shoot
their own VFX elements and inserts.
