About

Hi, I’m Sujan Manandhar, a dynamic 3D Animator with 11+ years of experience delivering high-quality character performances for feature films, game cinematics, and TV series. I specialize in crafting expressive animation that balances technical precision with storytelling impact, and I thrive collaborating with directors and cross-disciplinary teams to translate creative vision into compelling visuals.

I’m known for mentoring artists and leading projects that raise production quality and efficiency. I enjoy refining storytelling through animation, improving emotional resonance and action choreography, and I continually seek opportunities to elevate the craft across pre-production and production stages.
