Luke Youngman
Line Producer
Executive/Senior Producer with over 25 years of experience working in animation/vfx/mixed media and with some of the top names in the industry. Skilled in the production and management of commercials, films, music videos and other short form content, from hand drawn 2D to real time CG and other techniques, including live action, stop frame and interactive media.
Equally comfortable with creative or client focus, external and in-house, with end-to-end project servicing, from first enquiry, through pitch and production to final delivery.
Below is a curated selection of my credits. During my time as Head of Production and Executive Producer at Nexus Studios I helped to produce, and managed the teams that produced, scores of pitches, productions and interactive experiences, many of which went on to win some of the industry's top awards.
