Sjors de Laat

Senior VFX Artist, Tuatara Games

Sjors de Laat has worked on video game VFX and cinematics for Fortnite, Godfall: Fire & Darkness, Tales of Runeterra, Sackboy, and Gears of War 5. He is currently working at Tuatara Games where he contributes to projects like the My Hero Academia skins for Fortnite, and DLC for Godfall. He has also worked with Axis Studios on a series of cinematics and commercials for many popular titles.

Heavily focused on graphic design and game art during college, Sjors explored multiple creative disciplines to dive deeper into the world of art, aesthetics, and design. Given this background, pursuing a career in visual effects felt right, and he has enjoyed the ride every step of the way ever since.

What makes VFX so wonderful is that it is a field where many disciplines overlap, dancing on the fine line of art and tech. As an orchestrator of making elements move, you play with form, shape, color, design, animation, the environment, human psychology, and storytelling to inspire and bewilder.

Endlessly curious, Sjors views VFX as an open book of spells always ready to be explored, and hopes this world inspires you to become a magician yourself.
