Meet the core crew
Matthew Esterhuizen - Co-founder & ECD
Fun when wet. The co-founder of the remotest agency in the world. Matt comes from a long line of forgotten VFX kings and when he's not creating the impossible and in the trenches with his team of creative gladiators, he's most likely in the gym picking up and putting things down, or the boxing ring being reminded he can always do better until the bell rings.
Nicola Marques - Co-founder & Head of Production
Nic can open a champagne bottle with a knife, and this important life skill helps her to slay all things production. She expertly runs our teams of Producers to ensure that each project is set up with timings, milestones and clear deliverables.
Eddie Oliveria - Head of 3D
Eddie is the head 3D department and is responsible for all 3D artists and CGI output. Eddie specialises in rigging, animation, lighting & textures. When he’s not doing 3D he’s playing computer games with one hand and cooking churrascaria style for his family with the other. He is the boss of lame jokes.
Dmitriy Yemelianenko - Lead 3D Artist
Dmitriy, Lord of the cats. He has re-homed 9. Technical challenges aren't a problem when you have this guy on the team. No youtube tutorial will be left unwatched until any issue is resolved. He may secretly be just 6 cats in a trench coat but he makes astounding 3D art so we're keeping him.
Dylan Seegers - Head of 2D
Dyl leads the charge of Singleframe’s platoon of Art Directors. When not designing he is busy getting sunburned and cooking up a storm on a perfect South African braai. He balances solving design problems with delegating work within the team for ultimate 2D glory. In his spare time, he spends too much money on Lego.
Bogdan Lucut (Bobo) - Lead VFX Artist
He is like Leonardo Da Vinci but still alive. He is a pixel throwing machine but in 2D. Also known as Lord of 2D, or Lead Concept Artist in human language. He is fearless and can make gold out of well, anything. He finds inspiration and comfort in family, tech, and being incredibly speedy.
Benita Khoosal Lakha- Senior Producer
Benita is our Queen B of everything production. From motion, stills, CGI, VR, she believes nothing is impossible – and that’s how she makes miracles happen. She is a culinary masterchef and can identify any spice from 1000 paces.
Pam Joaquim - Project Manager
Pam is a champion hugger. In fact, she’s a great communicator on all levels - with clients, media buyers, vendors and the entire studio team. She makes sure everyone has exactly what they need. She knows the world’s best party game and is fond of a pint of craft beer.
Denise McGuire - Operations Manager
Denise keeps the Singleframe ship running. She recreates backstreet boys music videos in her downtime. Denise works closely with Matt, Nic & Rob on daily logistics, recruitment & finance management. But don’t let that fool you,
the girl has moves!
Vincent Iannone - 2D Artist
Vincent is our secret weapon. In the face of any challenge, he is first to the front line. He specialises in graphic design, branding and illustration. For such an international man of mystery, he is an exceptional gardener.
Carlos Andrés Algueiro - Head of AV
We guarantee there is nothing Carlos can’t make you guess in a game of charades. Not only is he great at telling stories physically, he is also a master editor who grabs attention from frame 1 and can adapt his style to suit any type of content. Oh, and he is the current World Cup holder.
Clara González - Junior Creative Producer
Clara is a jack of all trades. She could be producing a new series on one day, animating on another and luring animals to her house at night, you never know what she’s about to do but in her you can trust. A creative pitch? Done. Hide a body? Done, no questions asked. You can always count on her for managing small teams and creative input.
Pedro Moreira - 2D Artist
Pedro’s years of experience shine bright when the pressure is on. His Brazilian pride explodes with his love for football, which he keeps in his kit bag along with his incredible design skills. And, like in any quality team, Pedro keeps pushing work forwards and scoring winners.
Chris Attkins - 2D Artist
Chris is a fearless design heavyweight who punches his way through assets like a haymaker from Muhammed Ali. He could fool the FBI with his extensive range of accents. When it comes to delivering a high-workload on a tight deadline, Chris nails it first time, every time.
Roy is our IT Manager by day, superhero by night. He can often be found cruising the streets of Durban on his motorbike, rescuing colleagues from dreaded frozen screens. He makes even the most complex tech problems simple. When not bingeing TED talks on AI, he’s dreaming about a world where every computer just works.
