anything. (2025)

Director & Lead VFX Artist

anything. (2025) is a short film directed by myself (see film & editing for more information on the whole film). As part of my Final Major Project for university, I created a digital double of one of the actors using a 3D scan as a base. I then proceeded to retopologise and clean it up in Blender, made clothes using Marvelous Designer and then did a destruction and ragdoll simulation using Blender plugins, which I then composited with Production Crate dust assets using After Effects. This isn't the final version of the shot, as that will be done once the edit is locked, but it's a good first draft of what it could look like!

What I did:
- Photogrammetry (Meshroom)
- Cleanup/Retopology (Blender)
- 3D Clothing Design (Marvelous Designer)
- Destrution/Ragdoll Simulation (Khaos + Ragdoll Tools)
- Compositing (After Effects)

Terminal (2025)

Lead VFX Artist

Terminal (2025) is a short film by Sunny Bahia, which follows the highs and lows of a gambling addict and his torturous relationship with a fixed odds betting terminal as it slowly destroys his personal and professional life. For this film, I was the Lead VFX Artist and led a compositing artist in completing 126 screen compositing shots within 2 weeks, using After Effects and Nuke. The timeline made this quite a tough project, but it was worth it as the film has gone on to win numerous awards at film festivals. Check out the trailer and website (that I also made) here.

What I did:
- Concepting
- Project Management
- Compositing (After Effects & Nuke)

Agnus Dei (2025)

Lead VFX Artist

Agnus Dei (2025) is a short film by Astri Gjetrang about a Farm Android that starts questioning it's purpose after bonding with a lamb. I was brought into this project with less than 3 days before the final deadline but still managed to create some awesome hologram fx in After Effects. I was the lead in a team with 3 other (hard working but very green) artists who had been working on the project for a few months but were having communications issues with the Directors/Producers. I came in to help fix it and blend the visions everyone had together, which ended up in me having to redo pretty much everything myself within the tight deadline. I'm particularly proud of this one as it won me the Best VFX award at the Solent Film and Media Awards as well as winning the Best Film award.

What I did:
- Concepting
- Project Management
- Compositing (After Effects, Photoshop, Beeble)

Gully Labs Spec Advert

The Gully Labs Naadu Sneakers were designed with my home state, Kerala, in mind. This in turn inspired me to model the shoe from scratch and create a quick render also inspired by Kerala's lushious landscapes and rich culture. The entire project was done in Blender.

Fauteuil Iena

The Fauteuil Iena is a luxury chair designed by French designer Pierre Paulin. I recreated the model and textures myself, and paid special attention to the materials by creating a hair particle system to recreate the fuzz on the chair.
Check out the chair on Paulin Paulin Paulin.

Flaneur Print Advert

The Bedroom Project, a podcast/page dedicated to sharing modern and black culture, created a print magazine, for which advertising space was opened up. I made a quick print advert for Flaneur Atelier in 3D using Blender, and got it printed in the magazine.

Apocalypse Box (2024)

VFX Artist

During a university class, we were given a selection of shots from a work-in-progress feature film, called Apocalypse Box. With this footage, we were tasked with doing some of the VFX for the film. One of the shots I selected was this CCTV shot, which I composited fully within Nuke. This was one of the first shots I had ever done as part of a professional pipline/brief so I was really happy with how it came out!

What I did:
- Compositing (Nuke)

Golf Le Fleur X Globetrotter Suitcase

Inspired by the suitcase designed by Tyler, the Creator's luxury fashion brand, Golf le Fleur, in partnership with the famous British luxury travel brand, Globetrotter.
This suitcase caught my attention immediately for its vibrant colour scheme on-top of an otherwise classic suitcase design. It was modelled and textures using Blender and Photoshop.
