Burn brings over 20 years of post production, CG and VFX experience to the team. More recently, he has focused on hands-on work with emerging generative tools across live projects. In this newly-created role, he will draw on his understanding of the ever-growing range of available tools to improve the creative process, implementing workflows that simplify and streamline the pipeline.
Burn spent 17 years as a CG artist and supervisor at Absolute Post before joining Realtime as a CG supervisor. He oversaw VFX on The Winter King and Lockerbie: A Search for Truth. In 2025, he rejoined Absolute as creative technologist, and also led AI-led video work, which saw him personally commissioned by Peter Gabriel to create the Olive Tree music video.
Godwin-Alvarez joins JFX following a 13-year tenure at Absolute Post. He brings a pragmatic approach to translating a client’s creative brief into actionable steps a team can execute, building workflows that let artists concentrate on creating rather than technical problem-solving. Some of Godwin-Alvarez’s credits include MobLand, The Buccaneers and The Rig.
