Head of 3D

We caught up with Vine FX's Pedrom Dadgostar, who talks us through his typical day working for the visual effects company

Pedrom Dadgostar is a highly experienced 3D artist and CG supervisor who has worked on a wealth of major projects, including the third season of The Witcher, War of the Worlds, and No Escape.

After the typical phase of questioning his future direction, a dilemma faced by many school leavers, he made the decision to study games development, leaning into his natural creative instincts. From there, Dadgostar would then discover the world of CGI and quickly became entranced by the opportunities offered by digital image-making.

Since that moment, he has been an integral part of post-production companies including Bandito and MPC, where he worked across big-name commercials for over three years. In 2018, he joined Cambridge-based studio Vine FX to lead the 3D department's work in long-form TV content.

08:00 To start off the day, I'll be getting my son ready for preschool and myself ready for another day in the VFX world. No more hitting snooze until the last possible minute these days! It's a fresh 30-minute ride into the studio where I settle at my desk and ignite my day with a decaf espresso. I've traded in my caffeine addiction for a faux-caffeine fix instead. It's all psychological at this point, but hey, we all have our vices.
