ABOUT MENirakar Sethy

The only thing About Me is that I am a passionate and dedicated Visual Effects (VFX) professional with over 20 years of industry experience. Throughout my career, I have worked on a wide range of projects, from blockbuster films to high-end commercials, ensuring that every frame delivers seamless visual storytelling.

Me As On Set VFX Supervisor

For the past 9 years, I have also been an on-set shoot supervisor, working closely with directors, cinematographers, and production teams to bridge the gap between live-action and post-production. My expertise extends into virtual production, where I have set up Ncam for Contiloe Production and worked on on-set camera tracking, HDRI capture, and photogrammetry to integrate real and digital environments seamlessly.

Currently, I am deeply involved in virtual production, focusing on facial capture technology, real-time rendering, and refining motion capture workflows to enhance digital character performances. My work also includes lens calibration for virtual production, ensuring accuracy in tracking for seamless CG integration. With a hands-on approach, I have developed my own on-set motion capture suit, allowing for more precise character animations in real-time. Additionally, I am working on large-scale photogrammetry projects, capturing entire sets and props to create highly detailed, photorealistic assets that elevate the final visual output.

Photography

Beyond VFX, I have a strong passion for fashion photography, with my work featured in several renowned fashion magazines. Capturing style, elegance, and emotion through the lens allows me to explore a different artistic perspective while maintaining my commitment to visual storytelling.

Outside of my professional work, I find immense joy in exploring creative hobbies that fuel my artistic vision. Playing the violin allows me to connect with rhythm, harmony, and emotion in a way that parallels the depth and mood of visual storytelling. Music inspires my approach to both photography and VFX, adding layers of depth and nuance to my creative process.

I also have a keen interest in sketching and studying light and composition, which further enhances my ability to craft striking visuals in all my projects. Additionally, my love for soccer has played a significant role in shaping my discipline, teamwork, and strategic thinking—qualities that translate seamlessly into my professional work. The sport has taught me perseverance and adaptability, essential traits in both creative and technical fields.

With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence, I constantly push creative and technical boundaries to produce visually compelling work. Whether in VFX, photography, music, or sports, I thrive on collaboration and innovation, always seeking new challenges that allow me to explore the evolving landscape of visual arts.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I look forward to connecting and creating something extraordinary together!
