Jamal Bennett Joins The Berry’s CGI Team
As The Berry continues to grow their post-production team in London, this is a very proud moment to sign up a super-talented artist (and friend) like J, who already carries a wealth of CGI and VFX experience.
J’s worked on commercials, movies, technology-driven content and more… and The Berry welcomes his outstanding software skills, which will be immediately integrated into the fast-paced workflow at the studio.
Luke Robson, founder and ECD at The Berry said, “Very excited to bring Jamal into The Berry’s CGI squad in London! As far as 3D Motion Designers go, Jamal is right at the top of their game and is going to be hugely supportive on all Berry briefs in 2024 and beyond! As The Berry continues to grow, it’s been a challenge to find exceptional CGI artists to join the team. Outstanding 3D generalists are like unicorns - rare and elusive. However, I can’t express how excited I am that we’ve finally signed one! Welcome to the team J-Man.”
Jamal Bennett, senior motion designer said, “I first met Ryan and Luke (Founders of The Berry) at Ravensbourne University over 10 years ago… so this is a bit of a full circle moment joining their team at The Berry.
"I’ve had one eye on them throughout my four years at Framestore as a motion designer, where I had the chance to work on projects for Disney, Universal, Sky, HBO and more! Over the years, I’ve developed senior knowledge of Cinema 4D, Substance Painter, Houdini and Nuke… and I'm very excited to bring those skills into the building for The Berry’s clients!
The Berry works across a huge variety of creative briefs that combine live action with CGI and VFX. I’ve already had the chance to work on Viral FOOH, Formula E and Nitrocross Las Vegas.
It’s refreshing and exciting to be joining old friends as a Senior Motion Designer… and I can’t wait for all the exciting projects to come!”
Ryan Burnham, founder and managing director at The Berry added, “Big news! Very proud and excited to welcome J to the team in London.
As The Berry continues to defy traditional advertising, J’s CGI and visual effects skills will play a crucial part in the continuation of The Berry’s cut-through filmmaking style. I know for sure that our clients and agency friends will see another level of creativity at The Berry this year”
It’s a game-changer for The Berry and their clients to have J on board, enhancing the creative passion and drive that The Berry team implements day in, day out.
2024… let’s go!"
