If you're on my about page, you're either in love with me, trying to steal my identity, or REALLY want to know what type of person I am before you hire me... Hopefully it's the first or third one!
EMPLOYERS AND CLIENTS!!! If you, for some unfathomable reason, don't care about my life story (🙄), use this link for the condensed version.
I'm Abe Naisent, but everyone calls me AB! (My name is AY-BEE not AY-B!!!). I'm South Indian, born in a beautiful state called Kerala, but I was raised in the STREETS of Bristol (the nice streets). I'm freshly graduated from a degree in CGI and Visual Effects, however I've spent the last 2 years gaining exeperience in all kinds of creative sectors. Over the years I've worked dilligently to create a skill set that includes things such as: VFX, Directing Videography, Social Media Content Creation/Management, Editing, Full Stack Web Development and more. I honestly don't know how it all fits in my skull.
I like to describe myself as a Visual Artist, Creative and a Generalist. Being a generalist gives me a unique perspective on any project, and allows us to think about options that other, more specialised creatives don't have the knowledge to provide. I'm a one man army!!! I'd say my value lies in having a strong artistic side (Directing, Editing, Social Media Content) in addition to a strong technical side (VFX, Web Design, Social Media Marketing).
I currently live in Bristol, but travel to London often and have a plethora of friends I constantly harass for a place to stay when needed! Also open to remote work! I'm currently open for freelance work, and I'm happy to take on part-time or full-time jobs if you want me THAT badly.
That's a deep question, man. I'd like to say my story began at a young age, when I was editing videos for YouTubers at 13 years old for £5 a pop (not sure how legal that was 🤨), but to be honest, I wasn't that interested back then. From day one, I've always been fascinated by technology. All the way until I was 16, I had my eyes laser-focused on becoming the billionaire CEO of Google (might still do that if I get bored).
Then, being trapped at home for MONTHS, during the COVID Pandemic gave me the time to look inwards and realize that, while I loved everything about Computer Science, I wouldn't find joy in sitting at a desk for hours, day in and day out. That epiphany set me on the path to stumble upon Blender and the world of CGI. To me, Visual Effects is where technology meets art—a beautiful intersection where creating complex node graphs and meticulously modeling a 3D object creates a complex puzzle, that leaves you with a sense of fulfilment at the end.
From there, I decided to study it at university (going from a Computer Science degree to a Bachelor of Arts was NOT an easy sell to my parents ðŸ˜). And then, at uni, I had another realization: I'd just traded one desk for another. This pushed me to explore my other interests: directing, music, photography and more, which ultimately led me to where I am today!
I'm pretty good bro, thanks for asking :)
I'd be even better if you hired me, even after reading all that garbage! Send me an email at contact@abenaisent.com OR send me a DM on Instagram, @Abe.EXR, if that's easier!
