Scott Frankel has worked in the visual effects industry since 1992 and has worked on more than 25 feature films. He is currently Visual Effects Supervisor and founding partner of Circle-S Studios. Before launching Circle-S he worked as Digital Effects Supervisor for ESC Entertainment in Alameda, CA, completing the last two sequels in the "Matrix" trilogy. That was after nearly 10 years at Industrial Light & Magic in Marin County, CA. His Compositing Supervisor tenure there culminated with Dreamwork's "Minority Report," for which he was nominated in 2002 by the Visual Effects Society for Best Compositing in a Motion Picture.

Scott has 24 years of professional compositing and graphic arts design experience, reaching back to 35mm slide design and large format, pin-registered composites for advertising and display media. Pursuing a life-long fascination with photography, especially with pinhole cameras, Scott was also active in the San Francisco Bay Area's vibrant independent film community, making experimental short films for more than ten years prior to his working in visual effects.

With an accomplished background in Fine Arts and graphic design, and his experience as an independent filmmaker, Scott brings a keen eye, technical expertise, and a thorough knowledge of the filmmaking process to the field of visual effects.
