I’m Ivan Maras, a VFX compositor based in Leicester, originally from Dubrovnik, Croatia. I’ve built my career by blending technical skill with creative storytelling, focusing on high-quality compositing workflows and efficient pipelines. Since moving to the UK in 2017, I’ve expanded from an early Nuke artist at a small Croatian studio to working on feature films and major TV projects across Europe and North America. I’m passionate about all aspects of VFX, including CG, animation, and AI-assisted post-production tools, and I love collaborating with artists and supervisors to bring stories to life.
