Hi I am a Sydney-based senior motion designer and 3D artist with over 17 years of experience.
Skills
Motion Design I have experience working in both broadcast/television and agency/branding work.
I have over 17 years professional experience with Adobe After Effects. These days, I enjoy finding optimisations in the workflow using AE's essential graphics and scripting toolset.
I also have lots of experience with other Adobe products: Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Lightroom and Premiere.
Lately I've been using Figma for design work especially when involving larger teams.
3D Graphics and CGI Most of my work has been making 3D motion graphics for channel idents and branding.
Over 11 years of Cinema 4D experience.
Experience 3D modelling in Cinema 4D, detailed surfacing in Substance Painter.
Photorealistic and Non-photorealistic rendering in Redshift, Arnold and Octane.
I also have a background in photography which helps my 3D work to be more relatable and grounded in reality.
Visual Effects I have lot of experience working VFX work in TV. Everything from making storyboards and animatics to VFX supervising at shoots, working with camera files, roundtripping to colourists and delivering in SDR and HDR while maintaining accurate colour workflows. My skills include:
Supervising VFX at shoots; making sure the images captured are optimal for working in post.
2D and 3D camera tracking, making 3D scans (photogrammetry), gaussian splats, capturing HDRI panoramas (for matching in camera lighting with CGI), scanning textures for CGI.
2D and 3D compositing using After Effects and Blackmagic Fusion Pro.
Compositing shoot plates with CGI elements.
Photography With a few years of shooting gigs and events during uni, these days I mainly shoot photography for myself. As a avid-hiker with roots in Nepal, I enjoy combining hiking in the Himalayas with photography. Lately I have been diving into shooting and developing black and white film and currently in the process of setting a darkroom.
