Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists

I realised I wanted to work in creative industries following a presentation about VFX and 3D animation during the Clermont-Ferrand international shortfilm festival

I was a creative person all my life, choosing drawing to any other activities,but I decided in some point in my life to follow different path and to go to law university, and after finishing my master degree in law , I realized that I will never be happy with what I chooses as future life path, and if I don’t follow a child dream I will do huge mistake,so I left my country and I started over in art industry,and I am sure for all this years I am not doing job but a pure pleasure for soul as job.

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

I was not a big Harry Potter fan like other 'Potterheads' but one of my friends was, so she always used to talk about Harry Potter , that got me interested to watch HP series, then after watching it, i was fascinated by the scale of sets and the creatures like dragons, house elves, etc., then i searched about BTS of the HP series, and found out that maximum times, it were set extensions and people sitting in front of screens doing effects.., that got me interested in Animation and VFX.

In 2010, during art classes and experimenting in animation with friends.

I've love animation all my life. At first I wanted to work on that, but about 5 years ago I realized I enjoy more working on games and programming. Since then I've been learning Unreal and Unity mostly with tutorials and reading documentation. In 2020 after saving up for some time and building up my portfolio I started studying Game Art at ArtFx Montpellier.

my first real realization that i wanted to work in this industry was at 18

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.

When I was young, I've always used my free time to create images by drawings or video games montages. I think it's since that time that my passion was born. I always felt something strong when feelings was retranscribed in Art, In that way it gived me motivation to learn about CGI.

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 !

When I was watching trailers for videos games ! And when I started writing seriously my own stories and publishing them on wattpad.

Since my childhood, the digital world has never stopped impressing me. I'm always ready to create stunning visuals and improving my skills.

I have always wanted to work in creative work. When i was 18 years old, I entrance in a university of multimedia and web design and discover the 3D world. Then with the skills I learned at this school and my personal projects, I applied and join ArtFx.

Hi, I'm a Digital Matte Painter / Concept Artist working in the VFX industry. I recently graduated at Artfx School where i co directed the short film " The Volunteers ".

Around at the age of 16 or 17, I got to know that animation and VFX could be a career option. That's the time I made my choice to study digital arts.

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 always liked drawing dynamic poses and comics. Then a learned about 3D animation and understood that's what I was trying to do all along with drawing. Creating movement and telling a story. Since then I'm sure 3D animation is what I want to creat my career in.

Like lots of people in this industry I always had a passion for art, whether visual art, or music, or theatre.. But I realized I truly wanted to work in the creative industries, in the cinema or video games industry, when I understood that I wanted to give emotions through my art. I didn't only want to make something beautiful to the eye, I wanted to do something meaningful. I wanted to tell stories, to move people, to make them think, hope, dream.

When I was younger, I was immediately interested in drawing, writing, painting, filming everything, and so on... I grew up surrounded by all this creativity, and I realized that's what made me feel alive. Making a living from my passions has always been a dream of mine. It was an obvious choice to work in creative industries...
