Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
As a kid I wanted to become a life action director and draw in my free time. Back then I had a strong interest in filmmaking and drawing but never really understood that animation is exactly what combines the two. When I got Instagram as a teenager and suddenly saw the amazing art that came from those artists working in that industry I was so hooked that a very strong drive emerged to learn the craft and to be able to create art like that one day.
I realized I wanted to pursue a career in concept art during my high school years. Drawing and painting has been a hobby of mine since I was very young, but only later did I realize could pursue a career where I could apply these skills. After high school I applied for a spot at The Animation Workshop and started my journey to be a part of the creative media and entertainment industry.
I am sure, many people have similar stories. But when I was a child I would watch "behind the scenes" footage of Harry Potter DVDs and fell in love with filmmaking. Working in the film industry was a dream that seemed as impossible as becoming a rock star, at least from my perspective. It wasn't until many years later, when all other options failed to give me joy in my worklife, that I decided to pursue a career in the industry. Now, I am finally here.
I used to make a lot of small film-productions as a kid, playing around with storytelling and visual effects. My spark for the creative media continued through my high school years, where I realized that it could become an actual career path. That's why I am currently studying at The Animation Workshop.
