Boyd began his career in Visual Effects back in 1985 at Apogee Productions in Van Nuys, CA. Aside from a brief stint at Robert Blalack’s Praxis Film Works, he spent his first 5 years in the business coordinating, producing, supervising and then directing Visual Effects for commercials at Apogee, earning Clio and Mobius Advertising Awards along the way, by working with directors that included John Dykstra, Tony, Ridley & Jake Scott, Jim Giddens, Mikael Soloman, Jan DeBont, Eric Saarinen, Dominic Sena, David Kellogg, Matthew Robbins, etc. After co-directing and supervising several commercials with Jan DeBont, Jan asked Boyd to design and supervise the Visual Effects for his first film, "Speed." The visual effects on that film earned a BAFTA nomination for Visual Effects and a spot at the Academy Bake Off. Boyd continues to work on Commercials and Television mini-series projects in between feature film projects, but it is the film projects which provide the types of challenges which Boyd enjoys, giving him the opportunity to “raise the bar” in visual effects, both artistically and technically. In addition to doing Motion Studies and Sequence Designs for Warner Bros on Wonder Woman, Catwoman and Superman Returns, Boyd has lent his talents to such film projects as Batman Forever, Face Off, Gone in 60 Seconds, Pushing Tin, Swordfish, Invasion, Fantastic Four 2: Rise of Silver Surfer and Poseidon, for which he received nominations from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and the Visual Effects Society. More recently, Boyd was active in designing and supervising the visual effects for GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. This film took nearly two years to complete and has over 1650 visual effects shots in it, giving him the opportunity to push the envelope even further in the visual effects arena.
