A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Jake Morrison is a highly skilled visual effects specialist with more than 15 years of experience. He began his career as a composer before rising to the position of VFX Supervisor on major Marvel films, including The Avengers, Ant Man, and Thor: Ragnarok.Morrison began his career in the industry by working during the day at a 35mm slide bureau and at night utilising many modified Atari computers to "play" images live to music. The slide bureau was going digital, so he soon had access to 3D Studio, Alias PowerAnimator, and Quantel Paintboxes.From there, it was a smooth career development from events to commercials to feature films, where he learnt the skills and worked his way up from the box to lead compositing/CCG supervisor to VFX supervisor.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
