Alice Smith

Digital Artist

Alice brings a rare combination of technical expertise and creative instinct to every project. Having worked across MCR, DI, and mastering earlier in her career, she has an unusually detailed understanding of the post-production pipeline — knowledge she puts to work delivering high-quality VFX, motion graphics, and bespoke design for clients across film and television.

Her work spans paint-outs, screen replacements, beauty shots, titles, maps, lower thirds, and animated elements, alongside bespoke film poster design (her poster design for This Werewolf Complex was selected for exhibition at Aesthetica Film Festival). She has a particular interest in blending digital and analogue techniques to create something distinctive and memorable.

Alice has worked with some exciting names in the industry, with credits including Richard Gadd’s Half Man, James McAvoy’s California Schemin’, John McPhail’s Grow, BBC’s Vigil, and Amazon’s Batman: Caped Crusader.
