Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
Visual effects have always captivated me, and movies and video games played a crucial role in shaping my creative journey. From an early age, I was fascinated by the magic of visual effects, their ability to transport audiences to new worlds. Movies and video games became a catalyst for my growth, inspiring me to explore the technical aspects of VFX, such as digital compositing and 3D modelling.
One of my earliest memories is watching my oldest brothers playing video games like GTA, as I grew up I loved playing Nintendo games on the DS consoles and eventually moved to PC. I've always loved working creatively making digital art and traditional art, combined with my love for video games it felt like the perfect combo to create new exciting things.
From a very young age I was curious about how effects are created in movies. Ever since Jurassic Park, a movie I watched as a child, I had this great interest. This interest grew when I entered the world of video games. Reason why I decided to study digital animation where I learned the basics of 3D art. This knowledge helped me understand the basics of my current specialization in 3D FX.
I first realised from a young age that I really enjoyed drawing and anything creative. This lead me to study art throughout my education, specialising in hyper realistic colour drawing. I have also always loved maths and wanted to find a career path that would combine and utilise both these skills. It was when I watched Avatar for the first time that I realised how magnificent Visual Effects could be.
I have loved art since I have been a child. It has always been a very important element of my life. Then, I have discovered computer animation through my degree at Bournemouth University and fell in love with lighting and the possibility of being able to use my creative skills to tell meaningful stories.
After watching the movie Avatar, my interest in the creative industries was sparked. The mesmerizing visuals, particularly the robots and simulations, captivated my imagination. Witnessing the seamless integration of technology and storytelling inspired me to explore the realm of creative possibilities. From that moment, I became fascinated by the potential of bringing digital creations to life and delving into the world of visual effects and simulations.
While completing my foundation diploma in art and design, I came across the animation industry through a multitude of cel animation and stop motion workshops. Having then specialised in animation through creating animatics and creating 2D videos, I then wanted to expand into 3D by entering into a BA Computer Animation Art and Design course at Bournemouth University. I was exposed to a multitude of pipelines surrounding VFX, games, interactive medias, and animation, and became a 3D Generalist!
Since I was in elementary school I had a huge interest in both computer science and art. Coming from a country where CGI isn't a very widespread term, I didn't know that this was even a career choice until my final year of high school. But ever since I learned about it I've been actively pursuing it :)
The seed of my interest in animation was planted during my childhood. I vividly remember being captivated by the colorful and dynamic characters that came to life on the screen. Whether it was the whimsical antics of classic hand-drawn animations or the breathtaking visuals of modern CGI films, I was enthralled by the ability of animation to transport viewers to imaginative worlds and evoke powerful emotions.
