About Jyoti Sahu

I’m a Production Coordinator at DNEG, Mumbai, with over 3 years of experience supporting high-end VFX film and series projects across global platforms. I currently work closely with the Shoot and Motion Capture departments, coordinating complex workflows, managing data-heavy processes, and ensuring smooth communication across teams to meet tight production deadlines.My role involves handling and organizing on-set data such as HDRI, LiDAR, photogrammetry, texture references, stills, and other shoot assets, and ensuring this data is accurately ingested into production systems. I also coordinate Motion Capture and MoEdit work based on project requirements and delivery schedules, while tracking tasks, timelines, and dependencies using tools like Shotgun/ShotGrid, Excel, JIRA, and Power BI.I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to several high-profile projects, including Dune: Part Two, Fast X, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Venom: The Last Dance, The Penguin, Those About to Die, and The School of Good and Evil.Before moving into production, I worked as an Accounts / GST Executive, which gave me a strong foundation in data accuracy, reporting, compliance, and analytical thinking—skills that continue to add value in my production work today.I’m passionate about clear communication, structured workflows, and quality-driven delivery, and I enjoy working in fast-paced environments where collaboration and attention to detail make all the difference.
