"Armen has extensive experience in all aspects of the VFX workflow," says Bill Romeo, senior vice president of television for Deluxe in Los Angeles. "He understands VFX creation from conception to on-set supervision to overseeing teams of animators and compositors. And as a former VFX supervisor on the production side, he has a unique sense of the client's needs on a show. He is a great addition to our team."
(Hollywood, CA) Encore, a Deluxe Entertainment Services Group company, is proud
to announce the addition of Armen Kevorkian to its growing visual effects department.
Kevorkian will be working as an in-house VFX supervisor on many of the projects
that come through Encore. Kevorkian has—as a client—collaborated
with the members of Encore's VFX team quite a few times over the years on a
number of shows, most recently on the pilot for Unforgettable, which was picked
up by CBS for the fall season and will continue to utilize Encore as its VFX
vendor.
"Armen has extensive experience in all aspects of the VFX workflow,"
says Bill Romeo, senior vice president of television for Deluxe in Los Angeles.
"He understands VFX creation from conception to on-set supervision to overseeing
teams of animators and compositors. And as a former VFX supervisor on the production
side, he has a unique sense of the client's needs on a show. He is a great addition
to our team."
"Coming to work at Encore just feels right," Kevorkian says. "They
have so many great artists—that goes without saying—but I've also
always liked the way they do business and collaborate with their clients. It's
a unique facility that way."
Previously, Kevorkian served as VFX supervisor for four seasons of the popular
series The Ghost Whisperer and on a number of other series and made-for-TV movies
including Studio 60, Brothers and Sisters, the SyFy Channel thriller Mammoth
and ABC's Invasion.
Before taking on supervisor responsibilities, he served as a VFX coordinator
on shows including Alias and the Star Trek franchises Deep Space Nine, Voyager
and Enterprise.
Kevorkian has received multiple Emmy and VES (Visual Effects Society) Award
nominations for his VFX work.
