Stefan Coory

VFX Supervisor & Co-Founder, Blockhead VFX — Sydney & Auckland

Stefan Coory started where most great VFX careers do — hunched over a compositor's workstation, learning the craft pixel by pixel. That hands-on obsession took him from Auckland to London, New York and Sydney, where he rose through the ranks at some of the world's most respected post houses before co-founding Blockhead VFX with Nigel Mortimer.

Over more than two decades, Stefan has supervised thousands of commercials and feature films, building a technical depth that few in the industry can match. Under his leadership, Blockhead has become a go-to boutique studio for premium commercial work, delivering visually ambitious campaigns for global brands including Disney, Apple, Netflix, Toyota and Telstra — most recently including Shanghai Disney Resort's 10th anniversary campaign and the Telstra Scamageddon campaign starring Steve Buscemi, which has made its mark on the international awards circuit.

The studio's trophy shelf spans the industry's most prestigious craft shows — taking home shots VFX Company of the Year 2025 and the VFX category at Ciclope for the Telstra Drumroll campaign, with recognition stretching from Spikes Asia to the AICP Awards.

Stefan joins the shots Asia Pacifc jury with a craftsman's eye, hard-won experience across every format and scale, and a lifelong commitment to the technical artistry that separates great commercial VFX from the merely good.
