Academy Award® winner Kevin Mack, visual effects supervisor at Sony Pictures Imageworks, recently completed work on the live-action, high-octane family adventure Speed Racer.

In 2007, Mack served as visual effects supervisor on Ghost Rider, based on the popular comic book and starring Nicolas Cage.

Mack joined Imageworks in 2002 to supervise the visual effects for Tim Burton’s Big Fish, which went on to be nominated for a BAFTA Award for Achievement in Visual Effects.

Prior to Imageworks, Mack was visual effects supervisor at Digital Domain on the Oscar®-winning A Beautiful Mind, where he was intimately involved with director Ron Howard and writer Akiva Goldsman in pre-production conceptualization of the visual depiction of John Nash’s genius. This creative and collaborative relationship with Howard was formed when Mack supervised the effects on Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Mack also worked with director David Fincher on Fight Club, supervising visual effects and collaborating with Fincher to design the seminal “brain fly-through” opening sequence of the film.

Mack won the Academy Award® in 1999 for Achievement in Visual Effects for his work on What Dreams May Come as visual effects supervisor.

Mack’s other visual effects supervisor credits include Vanilla Sky, Red Corner and The Island of Dr. Moreau. He also served as digital effects art director on the Oscar®-nominated Apollo 13.

Previously, Mack had an extensive career as a freelance visual effects artist creating matte paintings and miniatures for films ranging from Airplane 2 to the Oscar®-winning The Abyss.
