Claire Pollock
Senior VFX Artist

Claire left St. Martin’s School of Art with a degree in Graphic Design and a love of photography. After spending several years taking photos for record companies, publishers and magazines, she was introduced to Harry by a friend. Fascinated by the potential for image manipulation she pestered several post houses for the opportunity to learn all about compositing and visual effects.

Rushes succumbed to her wily charms and after proving herself to be invaluable was offered a job, firstly as CIS assistant then as Harry assistant. After six months as an assistant she was operating Harry. Two years after that Claire moved across to Flame and later Inferno and has really enjoyed the flexibility of the ever-improving software.

During her time at Rushes Claire has worked on a wide range of high-end commercials and music videos from Virgin Atlantic and After Eight to Depeche Mode and George Michael, with directors such as Andy Morahan, Jeff Stark, Patricia Murphy, Pedro Romhanyi, Will Van Der Vlught and Hugh Hudson.
