Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I wanted to be a plastic artist at first. I went to college to learn applied art and I hated it. I hated the way I learned about colors, painting or art history. It was very academic and it wasn't a good fit for me. In Artfx, everything is based on cinema. Everything you learn is axed around it, and it makes it beautiful and it gives a purpose to your work. But when I first realize that I wanted to be part of the industry is when I realized that I stopped looking at my watch really.
I've always been interested by images, landscapes. As soon as I got a computer, I was really interested by digital tools, starting in 2008 with PhotoFiltre, then later using Photoshop. I started to watch more and more movies as I grew up and I really felt that it would be amazing to work on them ! that I realized I'd like very much to work in Visual Effects. I'm now working at Folks VFX as a Environment/Lighting TD !
Since I was a child, I dreamt about creating stories and having the possibility to show them to everyone, so after trying to represent them with letters in books, I chose to draw them... I think I understood it was the right way to go when my words weren't enough to represent exactly the worlds that grew up in my mind, when I couldn't stop myself to represent each others worlds.
I had a great passion about the combination of using math to create. I first wanted to go into my fathers footsteps and become an architect, but the one thing that always troubled me was the limitations. When I found CG and FX it was like a world opened up for me, it was like a switch that turned on. Endless possibilites of creativity and techichality. So here I am, couple thousand kilometres away from home and studying vfx at ArtFX
From my very young age, I’ve always had a passion for computers and technology. I started to do some montage and visual effects on games I was playing and on short movies that I used to record. From that, I chose to go to a Visual effect school (ArtFx) where I acquired the knowledge and the skills that allowed me to follow my passion to breathe life into visual assets and enrich their story further through texturing.
