Shiv Dholakia

I am a Senior FX Artist with almost 15 years of experience in the Motion Pictures and Television industry with over 30+ feature film credits who has studied, lived and worked in California, United States for several years in San Francisco Bay Area and Greater Los Angeles Area. I also have work experience in Sydney and Melbourne(Australia), Toronto, Vancouver, Montréal and Quebec City(Canada) and London, Edinburgh(United Kingdom). I am hoping to gain some production experience in Singapore and New Zealand.

I have worked on Live-Action, Animated Feature, Commercials and TV Series as well as Game Cinematics.

Currently I am working remotely on freelance projects all around the world.
