Wes Heo started his VFX career in Vancouver. While seeking to land his first job in the industry as a lighter or a modeler, Wes was drawn to the art of multi-pass compositing, and decided to change his career path. Backgrounds in photography and fine arts provided a great foundation to find success as a compositor.

Wes strives for both artistic and technical excellence. Just as much as he loves to create beautiful imagery, he enjoys developing tools to help achieve it more quickly and efficiently.

Joining WeFX as the founding member of the compositing department, Wes had a unique opportunity to build the studio Nuke pipeline from the ground up.

Some of the projects he has worked on include The Umbrella Academy, Star Trek: Discovery, The Mandalorian, and Suicide Squad.

Wes has degrees in music and psychology from the University of Virginia, and a VFX diploma from Think Tank Training Center.
