Meet Dionysis Douliakas

I'm a senior freelance creature and character animator with 11 years of production experience across major VFX studios and game cinematic pipelines. Film credits include House of the Dragon (Pixomondo), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (Rise FX), and animated features. In games, I've worked as an in-game cinematic animator on 007 First Light at Puppetworks, and contributed to Dune: Awakening. Alongside production work, I actively mentor emerging animators through Access: VFX. I focus on the practical, unfiltered side of working in studios: from building your first creature shot to navigating the transition between film VFX and game cinematic pipelines.
