Chad Wiebe joined ILM's Vancouver studio in the fall of 2016 as a Visual Effects Supervisor. Prior to ILM, Wiebe worked at Scanline VFX and Method Studios. His filmography includes over 30 titles, spanning over 15 years.
Wiebe began his career in Winnipeg at Frantic Films, currently known as Prime Focus. He spent 11 years with the company, working his way up the ladder from a generalist to Computer Graphics and Digital Effects. Recognized for his progress, Wiebe was promoted to Visual Effects Supervisor in 2008.
With an emphasis on destruction and heavy simulation-based effects, Wiebe's work can be seen in the heavy explosion sequences from Swordfish, the slow-motion train battle in Sucker Punch, and the bridge collapse sequence in Final Destination 5.
