Connect with a Global
Community of VFX Artists

"Urban is always pushing the possibilities of VFX, supported with a masterful grasp of cinematography and storytelling. His enthusiasm for this is infectious – whenever we talk, I come away with new insight on a matter. As a teacher, he not only has the eye and skills from his industry experience to create stunning work, but also has a passion for then breaking down and explaining the process in order to help share this knowledge."

"DoubleJump was extremely creative and easy to work with! They were able to produce incredibly realistic simulations. And took our production to the next level!"

Aaron Sorensen

VFX Supervisor / Director at ZEBRACREATIVE

DoubleJump has been able to put out there from the start something that is very hard to come across: the ideal mix of technical insights shared with great communication skills and superb artistic results that speak for themselves. How I wish this kind of content had been available much sooner!

"When I think about truly excellent fire and explosion CGI simulations, Urban Bradesko comes to mind. As the proud owner of DoubleJump Academy, he's made it his mission to disseminate knowledge about CGI effects. But it's his unrelenting passion for sharing and teaching that makes him truly exceptional. Every time I see Urban's work, I'm reminded of the heights of quality and dedication."

Luca Goury

Urban is the kind of sexy combination who not only has a jaw-dropping professional portfolio himself, but also knows how to be a funny and effective instructor. I really love collaborating with him and learning from such a gifted artist. Urban can show you tricks that are hard to stumble upon without years of experience. He always remembers to explain the "why" behind the setup—and how it brings your shots closer to reality, bridging the last 10~20%. We geek out over reference footage all the time. He has a sharp eye for detail and a genuine passion for what he does.

Mai Ao

Senior Technical Lead of SideFX Labs at SideFX Software

I have worked with Urban in the Past on a workshop and with Corbin as FX supervisor during my time at ILP. They are both extremely creative, passionate and always put helping the people around them up to the for front. I couldn't imagine a better team of people to put together a school like DoubleJump. Always people and education first.
