MA - Texturing & Lighting

Sanjana Mallya

I am Sanjana S. Mallya. I did Computer Science engineering for my undergrad and soon realized I wanted to belong to an industry that wasn’t 0’s and 1’s, black and white and had less rigid boundaries and infinite perspectives and colors. The world of movies, films and story telling is filled with possibilities and I discovered my love for animation and bringing stories to life. In real life we often overlook how certain things affect the whole narrative- similar to how lighting and colour palettes can alter the entire mood and way of viewing things. We wouldn’t perceive the world around us the way we do without the different senses that give meaning to things- creating that feel by texturing, grooming and lighting is something I really enjoy and am passionate about.
