One of Europe’s most senior Visual Effects Supervisors, Simon is equally at home supervising for studios as he is overseeing Cinesite’s own quota of visual effects. With more than 25 years in the VFX industry, including 20 at Cinesite, Simon is a valued member of the senior creative team. Prior to overseeing the visual effects for Alex Garland’s 2025 film Warfare, he secured a Primetime Emmy Awards nomination for True Detective: Night Country for HBO in 2024.

Simon’s streaming and episodic credits include the Netflix film Lift, starring Kevin Hart, the supernatural 6-part first series of Fate: The Winx Saga and Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, also for Netflix and with Working Title Films. Marvel Studios blockbusters also feature in Simon’s credits, including Avengers: Endgame, Captain America: Civil War, Iron Man 3 and Ant-Man, from the meticulous recreation of planet Morag to the haunting Tony Stark lost in space sequence.

Other previous work includes cult classic Moon for director Duncan Jones, Pride & Prejudice & Zombies and the charming Beatrix Potter biopic, Miss Potter. Known for his impeccable attention to detail, in 2018 Simon took the lead on Lionsgate’s Robin Hood as overall show supervisor, a film with intricate fight scenes, 13th century environments and complex chase sequences with extensive invisible action effects.

As an avid photographer, Simon is passionate about live entertainment in its many forms. He strives to absorb and appreciate a wide range of art, and brings that far-reaching inspiration back into his work. Cinesite’s talented and close-knit team, along with the hard-earned result of chipping away at a challenging project, is what drives Simon to produce such exceptional visual effects work.
