Chris Smallfield

imdb profile

Chris’s reputation as an amiable creative powerhouse has brought him an abundance of respect and recognition over his 16-year career in film and television. His work has been nominated for a Primetime Emmy & a VES Award.

Pulling from his rich background as a CG Supervisor, Chris Smallfield (affectionately dubbed “Spaceman” by colleagues) has evolved seamlessly towards nascent beginnings as a VFX Supervisor for huge international productions such as She-Hulk, Shang-Chi, and the Loki series.  He offers a wealth of experience across the VFX & 3D spectrum, and is a true denizen in the realm of all-things CG. His keen eye for detail, highly professional attitude, and renowned steadfastness have brought him to prominence within the industry.

Astonished by early Pixar films and carrying creativity in his blood (Chris’s mother is a passionate visual artist herself), Chris has had a clear direction for his professional life since a young age. His love of comic books and quirky films meant a natural segue into a BFA in Computer Art at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Chris claimed his first foot on the industrial ladder during six wide-eyed years in LA film & television before making the transition to Germany nearly a decade and a half  ago.  He has since made a name for himself through his work as a multitalented 3D generalist.

“When clients ask for something they’ve never seen before, I manage to deliver. I try and find unusual sources of inspiration and then experiment with all kinds of media— from photography to sculpting something out of mud.”

No stranger to the biggest names in film, Chris’s extensive portfolio as a CG Supervisor encompasses monumental hits like Spider-Man: Homecoming and Captain Marvel. A Berliner at heart, Chris has confidently worked his way into the German film industry, previously serving as CG Supervisor to Die Känguru Chroniken and Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer.

Chris’s penchant for artistic pursuits ranges from hobby photography and videography to graphic design and illustration. He is the proud owner of an extensive comic book collection (more than 8,000 strong) and a connoisseur of unique salt & pepper shakers.
