Biography
Hi! I am Shantanu, maker of a short film with a Snow Leopard, its spots animated frame-by-frame.
Starting out helping grad students make their indie films, I started tinkering around in Blender, Using a variety of techniques to design props, vehicles, costumes and gadgetry for two in-house original animated series at ReDefine (DNEG). Winner of th 48hr animation jam organised by ITFS, a world renowned film festival held in Stuttgart in 2022. (we turned their psychotic horse mascot into something more relatable).
Having learnt rigging and 3D character animation by then, I was part of a team that brought to life a virtual influencer at Mythoverse Studios, learning the pipeline all the way to final Render. In my spare time I explore addons, watch film studies and make fan art video game cinematics.
A lover of Swimming, Piano, Houseplants and afternoon naps. Dog person.
Can't wait to meet the tribe at THU!
