Noah Nims
ANIMATOR/EDITOR
Noah Nims is a Photographer/Videographer and lead AI character animator at Percolate Studios, where he recently helmed character animation for The Shroud of Turin Immersive Experience in California. Noah's journey with the camera began at nine—not by choice, but necessity, after breaking his parents' camera in New Orleans. Though he explored painting and sketching as a teenager, he always felt his drawings were missing something. That something was photography.
In college, a film photography and printing class changed everything. The analogue experience—manually exposing film, mixing chemistry, developing, and printing in the darkroom—transformed photography from a job into an art form. He became so obsessed he served as the darkroom's lab technician, even developing rolls out of his luggage while traveling abroad. Noah has created multiple short films, worked on professional productions, and shot thousands of photos for clients.
