About me

Hello and welcome to my lost algorithm. I lost it. You found it. Now we're here.

My name is Michael Bovberg and I am a Senior Compositor and 2D Generalist with over 18 years of experience, specializing in enhancing visual narratives through innovative compositing and workflow optimization. I continue to learn, grow, and push new boundaries to create results that I can be proud of and the day I cannot learn anything more is the day I become a full time gardener. I've been blessed to have worked with some of the greatest creative talent Hollywood has ever produced and I cannot wait to meet the ones I have yet to.

Thanks for visiting my website.
