ABOUT

I'M DHRUV CHAUDHARY

A Filmmaker, Animator, Director, and Visual Storyteller who believes cinema is the most powerful bridge between imagination and emotion.
I create stories, blending live action, animation, 3D, and visual effects into one cinematic language.

My journey began with small personal projects and grew into award-winning films.

 

AWARDS

My animated sci-fi short “LOST” won the Best Animation Short Film Award at the Jaipur International Film Festival in 2025.
Since then, I’ve continued exploring storytelling through both animation and live-action film.

​

I’m currently completing my final year of B.Sc. Animation & Visual Graphics at Amity University, where I’ve built strong expertise across the entire pipeline, from script to screen.

​

WHAT I DO

I specialize in:

  • Film Direction & Cinematic Storytelling

  • Cinematography & Visual Composition

  • 3D Animation (Character + Creature)

  • Unreal Engine Cinematics

  • VFX (Simulation, Compositing, FX)

  • Video Editing & Sound Design

  • Advanced Color Grading (DaVinci Resolve)

  • Storyboarding & Previsualization
     

I work with powerful creative tools including:
Maya, Unreal Engine, Blender, ZBrush, After Effects, Photoshop, Illutrator, DaVinci Resolve, Substance Painter, and Character Creator.​​

​

MY CREATIVE PHILOSOPHY

I believe that great filmmaking comes from truth, emotion, and craft.
Every frame should feel intentional.
Every color should carry meaning.
Every cut should add rhythm.
And every story should leave the viewer with a feeling that stays long after the screen goes dark.

​

MY VISION

My goal is to work in the film industry as a Director and Animation Filmmaker, creating cinematic stories that challenge perception, evoke emotion, and reflect the world we live in, whether through live action or stylized animation.

I’m constantly learning, experimenting, and pushing my creative boundaries.
This website is a reflection of my journey, past, present, and everything I’m discovering along the way.
