About
Danial Basyri, known as DB, is AICREATIVV's 3D and 2D animator and drone operator. He joined in 2026 after years of freelancing, and he happily calls himself a jack of all trades: animation, graphic design, photography, videography, 3D, filmmaking, game development and drone work. At the studio he can focus on pushing animation and drone operations further.
Before joining, he contributed to projects connected with National Geographic, Nippon TV and CNN, and worked as a research assistant on digital twins of Bruneian architecture and the documentary Wujud, earning awards along the way. He is also pursuing a Master's by Research. Since arriving, he has worked on the NSFL animation for BDCB and put in late nights editing BDCB projects ahead of their launch.
He is inspired by Arcane's mix of 2D and 3D, and by Red Bull's FPV drone stunts. One Friday he went from Tungku to Jerudong on a solo quest for the best cucur.
