Available to hire
Hi, I’m Dhiraj Brahma, a veteran visual effects professional with over 19 years in roto, prep, and 2D compositing for high-end film and TV projects. I’ve led large Roto-Prep teams at Digital Domain, DNEG, MPC, and Sony Pictures Imageworks, delivering pixel-perfect results under tight deadlines and mentoring artists to reach their best work. I have a strong foundation in AI-driven roto/paint tools and a collaborative approach to building efficient pipelines across global studios.
When I’m not crafting shots, I enjoy music, photography, and exploring new places. I thrive on teamwork, clear communication, and creative problem solving to push the boundaries of VFX while maintaining high quality.
