Welcome! I’m Andy Milkis, Freelance Lead Flame Artist and Visual Effects Supervisor. In my 24 years as a Flame Artist, I've worked with every major brand, agency, network and studio. I've directed live action pieces for Target, CVS, Comcast/Xfinity, Sesame Street and more. I've traveled the world as an on-set VFX supervisor and love helping my clients bring their vision to life.

I have lead the Flame/2D departments for bicoastal offices. I’ve managed pipeline between CG, Design and Editorial departments and assisted Production with bidding and scheduling. As Director of Technology at LVLY, I lead development of two in-house technologies: Floss™, a high-end tool for beauty retouching and Toggl™, a tool to help clients previz their content on multiple social media platforms.

I am heavily involved in the Flame user community. I co-founded the NY Flame User group in 2013, admin the 4000+ member Logik Facebook group and host the annual Logik parties at NAB. I run an annual creative contest called One Frame of White and over the past 8 years I've given away over $50,000 in prizes. When the pandemic hit I started Logik Live, a weekly YouTube-based user group, The Logik Podcast and Logik.tv, an online community connecting Flame Artists all over the world.

I have been married to the love of my life for 23 years, and am the proud father of two college kids. I read voraciously, especially history and science (which explains my fascination with the space program). I also sing spontaneously and recommend podcasts
