ABOUT GRÁINNE DOOLEY

 

 

It's an Irish name! Pronounced Grown-yeah:-)

​

I'm an Irish VFX On-Set Supervisor, and have climbed the ranks through the VFX ladder. I've been on sets for 20 years and the skills and knowledge acquired from this time is something you cant learn in college or from the internet. 

I love being on set, and I love representing VFX. Lately I've been dipping my toes into the world of post and the dream is to eventually do both! I sometimes think the hardest part of being the On-Set Sup, especially if its a solo gig, is handing over all your work and saying goodbye! Then spending the coming months wondering how its all going and hoping you got all you need! I'd love to travel and be in the midst of the action, and bring it all back with me to post and let the magic begin:-)

​

I studied Media Production in DIT, then Animation in DLIADT and then Production Design!

(also a diploma in Nutrition but thats another website!).

 Eventually booked a one way ticked to NZ just as LOTR was winding down. I committed to not going home until I got a job into the camera dept. 

​

Fast forward to 25 years later, with the slight majority of those years in VFX, and no looking back!
