Hey there!

I'm JR Strickland

I'm a director, editor, and visual effects artist with a passion for entertaining through storytelling. When I'm not working on videos, you can probably find me playing the piano.

My Career so far

I was raised in Bolingbrook, Illnois, a suburb 20 min outside of Chicago. My passion for videos led me to the art school known as Columbia College Chicago where I majored in Film and Video with a concentration in Directing. In 2014, I moved to Los Angeles, and broke into the industry as an editor and visual effects artist. I then built my company Nocturnal FX, a post-production house repsponsible for editing, visual effects, directing, sound design, color, and finishing of music videos, commercials, documentaries, and film.

VFX for Indies Podcast

I stopped by VFX for Indies to drop some behind the scenes knowledge on how I made Big Sean Float, put Cal Scruby in the staples center, made a car fly through the sky, and my short film.
