I am Goutam Nelikanti, and I'm a nuke compositing artist. As a child, I grew up watching anime and visual effects movies and wondering how they were created and done. Out of curiosity, I started to gather information about that, and eventually, I developed a slight optimism that such animations and visual effects were conceivable. I was fascinated by visual effects films and the animals that appeared in them. I participated in a visual effects course during my graduation, and after finishing the course, I began working in 2013. I've worked on various projects, music videos, and TV shows since then, and I'm not sure how many projects I've worked on in the last ten years. I have always been passionate about creating immersive worlds and bringing fantastical creatures to life through visual effects. The ability to manipulate reality and create stunning visuals is truly the closest I can get to becoming those characters from my favorite compositing. It has been an incredible journey so far, and I am grateful for every opportunity to work on diverse projects that challenge my creativity and push the boundaries of what is conceivable on screen. Looking back, I am amazed at how much I have grown and how many incredible projects I have been a part of in the past decade.
