Spain | Animum Creativity Advanced School
At the end of the bachelor's degree (18) I did a final work that consisted of recreating a very emblematic building of my village in 3D. There I really discovered the world of 3D. The only economically viable school offer with 3D that I found in barcelona was higher studies of video production and multimedia. With these studies I found a job as a video technician, cameraman and video editor. But after more than 3 years i decided to recover what I really liked and enrolled in Animum 3D School's.

Belgium | Digital Arts and Entertainment
Ever since I was a little boy, matters like technology, automotive design, architectural visualization, product design ... literally everything about making and designing things along with the creative process really has fascinated me. DAE was and still is a very unique opportunity to study a blooming and creative profession in which I am able to combine several of my interests such as 3D and architectural visualization, animation and animated movies or graphic design and photography.

emilras
Denmark | 3D College
A friend showed me a render of his room, and i couldn't believe how this stuff was even possible. For me this was completely mindblowing. So i picked up 3ds max and after 3 hours, i closed it down. It was way too confusing for me, and i didn't know where to start. Then after 3 months i saw a commercial for digital tutors, and signed up. I fell in love with 3d instantly. The mix of creative and technical challenges really suits me.

Canada | NAD, School of Digital Arts, Animation and Design - UQAC
I've been a graphic designer for 20 years, but lately, I was more passionate about photography. As jobs in classic print are declining at a fast rate, I was looking for a way to work in a photography related job and heading up to a promising career. I knew Montreal was a fast growing cinema industry, then I heard about compositing, which is combining some of the graphic design skills I had and a lot of photographic skills. This was the perfect fit for me. So I found my new passion/career!

Belgium | Howest University - Digital Arts and Entertainment
I wasn't one, when growing up, watching films thinking that one day, I'm gonne be a film maker. As a kid I was an ardent gamer, getting into clans and whatnot with my friends. I also got into GFX, which was essentially making youtube banners and logos. I didn't even know this was something I wanted to do in the future, but I would literally come home from school, excited to work on some random guy's youtube banner.

Belgium | Haute Ecole Albert Jacquard
I was 13 years old when I did my first "FX", in After Effects CS3. I made a classic energy blast coming out of my hands. It was at this moment that I knew I wanted to work in this field. Now that I'm learning Houdini, I want more than ever to work on a VFX studio.

Sweden | Luleå Technical University, Fine Arts and specialization Computer Graphic Arts
I played Minecraft and became really good at placing those blocks over the years. I got to try Zbrush and Maya which were super fun to work in. So when it was time to apply for university I realized that I wanted a career in creative media.

Netherlands | Netherlands Film Academy
During my first year of studying electrical engineering I realised how there’s also possibilities to study something that combines technical skills with creativity. I dropped out and applied for the Netherlands Film Academy where I kept falling more and more in love with VFX and the way I could express myself with it.
