Fred Raimondi

Recognized as one of the preeminent digital artists in the world today Visual Effects Supervisor Fred Raimondi has partnered on projects with, Michael Bay, David Fincher, Mark Pellington, Lance Kelleher, and Alex Proyas.

Historically, he has always been ahead of the curve.

At a time when visual effects were reserved for film optical houses, his early work set the standard for electronics visual effects compositing with “The Twilight Zone”, “Max Headroom”, and the first season of Star Trek, The Next Generation”.

As a founding member of Planet Blue in 1988, his early work with digital compositing helped pave the way for today’s generation of visual effects and compositing platforms, tools, and techniques that are widely recognized as industry standards today.

October 1993 saw Raimondi join the startup phase of visual effects and creative hotbed Digital Domain in Venice, CA. He was among the first 15 employees at Digital Domain and played a large part in setting the stage and feel for Digital Domain’s Commercial Division. His need to be closer to the production process and desire to take visual effects in commercials to a much higher level saw him become one of the first Visual Effects Supervisors in the Commercial arena. As a result, he helped the art form move from “a post production only” process to an integrated part of the whole filmmaking process.

An accomplished editor, photographer, and musician, he brings a unique skill set and creative vision to the projects he chooses. His experience as a “complete filmmaker” brings a unique blend of art and technology to his projects.

Raimondi’s work has garnered Gold and Silver Cannes Lions, Gold and Silver Clios, an MTV Video Music Award, numerous AICP Awards, and a Grammy.

Some of his clients include Budweiser, Nike, Levis, Dodge, Sony, Chiat/Day, Goodby Silverstein, DDB Needham, and McCann Ericson.

He is currently the senior Visual Effects Supervisor in the Commercial Division of Digital Domain in Venice, California.
