Kollen Wasylean

VFX Compositor

Atlanta, United States

VFX Compositor with 8+ years of experience contributing to feature films, episodic television, and promotional trailers. I specialize in Nuke-based compositing, including CG integration, keying, roto/paint cleanup, and final shot polish within fast-paced production pipelines.

I’ve collaborated with teams on projects for major studios and networks, working across both early look development and final delivery stages. Known for reliability and attention to detail, I integrate quickly into existing pipelines and maintain consistent quality under tight production deadlines.

I’m always expanding my skill set and refining workflows to stay current with evolving industry techniques and production standards.
