Chris Rainey | Sr. FX Artist

Chris Rainey | Sr. FX Artist

Growing up in the 80's and 90's, Chris lived on a steady diet of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and X-Men. These strong roots in animation and comics led Chris to start as a traditional 2D-animator back in 2004 on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Then he started dabbling in CG primarily for lighting and lookdev, but when he stumbled upon a little piece of software called Houdini, the hooks were set, and he fell in love with FX. The rest is VFX history. Chris's credits include The Shape of Water, Fantastic Beasts 2, and Thor: Love & Thunder.

After he's done with FX, Chris hopes one day to retire in Hawaii living out the rest of his days smoking ribs and serving bourbon.
