Hello my name is Kai Gadd and I’m a visual effects artist from the North East of England in sunny Hull.

Passionate about creating work that tells the story and brings joy to the audience, I’m a Visual Effects Compositor from England and I’ve been working in the industry since 2012 working through the ranks of Rotoscoping, Prep work till up to Compositing where I am today.

I worked for many Companies and Agencies, contributing to important productions. With the recent Covid Pandemic I've been able to make the smooth transition to work from home also.

Feel free to contact me for any job opportunities you may seem fit.
