Hi everyone, my name is Gavin Mootoosamy and I’m a CG artist living in a small South London town called Mitcham. For as long as I can remember, I was bitten by the CG bug and I wanted to scratch it for a very long time. Through a lot of persistence and heart-warming enthusiasm for visual effects, that bite became a raw pursuit for my CG ambition.

​

I studied a degree in video games at a London university, and then attended the wonderful visual effects academy Escape Studios where I was first introduced to the world of visual effects. Since then I have not just developed my skills in CG, but I’ve had the privilege in working on a motion picture and commercial for two amazing studios in London as a rigger and 3D Generalist.

​

I realise that it’s not just about turning up and doing the work, but it’s also about building relationships and a positive reputation. The industry is small and you can end up working for the same studio more than once, but that’s unlikely if the attitude is not a good one. I measure up to several factors, positive can – do attitude, delivery and something I call skills honesty (Basically being honest about my skills).

​
