Resume

About Alin Bolcas

I have nearly a decade of experience in VFX, creating hero characters for major productions such as the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Dungeons & Dragons, Prehistoric Planet, and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

With a strong foundation in traditional arts, computer science, and generalist expertise across CGI pipelines, I specialise in character concept design and development. I’m most inspired when solving complex creative and technical challenges through close collaboration with world-class talent to deliver the highest standard results.

With the rise of AI technology, I’ve been actively involved in exploring, learning, and integrating AI into traditional CGI workflows - leveraging its potential to enhance creative processes, accelerate design iteration, enrich visual storytelling, and ultimately expand human capability.
