How to Train Your Dragon

A hugely experienced Production VFX Supervisor, Christian’s near 30 year career in VFX has seen him secure four BAFTA nominations and an Academy Award nomination for a variety of household-name projects.

He has most recently collaborated with Director Dean DeBlois on Universal’s ‘How To Train Your Dragon.’ This complex, animation-heavy project drew on Christian's extensive experience crafting richly-imagined worlds, thrilling action sequences and nuanced animated characters - something he is well known for having lead the VFX on all three of David Yates’ ‘Fantastic Beasts’ films for Warner Bros.

Christian began his career with Framestore as a runner in 1997, having trained as an illustrator. He built his experience working in Commercials and Television, winning two VES awards and gaining an Emmy nomination, before moving into film working on landmark projects ranging from the Oscar-winning The Golden Compass to multiple Harry Potter instalments.  He made his move into Production VFX Supervision in 2010 with ’47 Ronin’ in 2010 followed by ‘Dracula Untold,’ both for Universal.
