I am Manav Gala.
I am an FX artist currently pursuing a BFA in the Visual Effects track at Gnomon, with an expected graduation date of March, 2026.
I’m proud to present a selection of my most refined works to date. My creative vision is shaped by cinematic worlds such as Game of Thrones, Dune, and the Star Wars saga.
I have a strong passion for problem-solving and a deep commitment to continually advancing my skills, particularly through the use of Houdini.
