This is NIkhil M. Anand. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in IT Engineering from Pondicherry University, India. In 2006 I moved to Hollywood, Los Angeles to specialize in 3D Animation & Visual Effects where I studied at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects, affiliated to Sony Pictures, IPAX, USA. I was trained by specialized professionals from Sony Imageworks, Walt Disney & Dreamworks while at Gnomon. My services were utilized by National Geographic, Los Angeles for a short 3D animation film on road safety & accident simulations.
I then worked on an animation feature film at Extra Large Tech in Hollywood until mid 2007. My passion to experience new areas in this industry lead me to move to Scotland, UK where I worked at Axis Animation in Glasgow as a Character Technical Director. Here I worked on Game titles such as ATV- superstars for Disney Interactive, ad film commercials for European auto clients, & conducted in-house R & D in the areas of anatomical musculature. I am currently back in my home town working as a Team Lead in Rigging & Dynamics at Sanra Software Ltd., Chennai, India.
