About Timothy

Tim was inspired to pursue a career in Creature FX after watching countless monster movies as a kid. He soon became obsessed with drawing, sculpting, and making monsters, and in 1999 finally made the life-changing journey to Hollywood.

After knocking on many FX studio doors, Tim eventually got his first screen credit on Jurassic Park III, working as a mold maker for one of his idols, Stan Winston. He continued at Stan Winston Studio on A.I. Artificial Intelligence and the Stan Winston-produced Creature Features series. Tim would later return to SWS to work on Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds.

Tim would go on to work as a key artist at leading creature FX studio Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI), where he contributed to many projects, including The Predator, Bright, IT, Spider-Man 1 &2, and AVP: ALIEN VS. PREDATOR. Tim also shared his talents with another premier FX shop, Legacy Effects, for films and TV shows including Avengers: Endgame, The Mandalorian, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

Tim is a talented filmmaker as well, having written, directed, and created the Creature FX for 2008’s Parasitic. In addition, Tim co-wrote, co-produced, and directed a hugely popular short film, Birth of a Monster: A Star Wars Story, and is working on a follow-up entitled Sands of Fate: A Star Wars Story.
