  • Unlike other tutorials where you just follow along and make a cool picture, Choi Gil Nam explains — in detail — the workings and concepts behind it. I highly recommend his tutorials.

  • It has been a pleasure working with Gil Nam Choi during his time as CG FX Supervisor at DNEG Vancouver. He sucessfully led a team of over 15 FX artists from multiple sites, through the tough creative and technical challenges of Shazam! Fury of the Gods. He was diligent and hard working, ensuring that the work was delivered on time and to the high quality demanded.
