Michael Knight

Visual Effects Artist, Graphic Designer, and Forensic IT Investigator

I'm a Visual Effects Artist/Graphic Designer who's worked for many companies including Paramount Pictures, Universal, Netflix, HBO, Amazon Studios/MGM, Warner Bros., Legendary Pictures, Microsoft, Activision, Bethesda/Zenimax, Ubisoft, Adobe Inc., and the US and UK Governments. I'm also a fully qualified Computer Forensic Examiner (EnCase.)

I have created artwork (movie posters and DVD/Blu-ray covers and graphical props) and visual effects for many movies, tv shows, games, and books. I have degrees in graphic design, 3D, and motion graphics, as well as various information technology and information security (InfoSEC) disciplines.

I have written game guides for Prima and I contribute to wiki's where I add game information, guides, tips, tutorials & walkthroughs, secrets, lore, graphics, and artwork.

The first movie I fully worked on was Event Horizon. Before moving into VFX, graphics and design, I was a Technical Support Manager and Mentor at Microsoft. I'm an accomplished musician, remixer, and DJ. I'm also a 6th Dan (Rokudan) Black Belt in Ju Jitsu, and Okuden in Shisenkan Kobudo (modern Ninjitsu.)
