When I realised I liked cartoons more than live action

I have always loved to create things.

I was always in love with drawing ever since I was young. But if I had to pin point it, it would be watching Toy Story as a kid.

I simply enjoy the process of create.

When I turned 16 and realised this is it, that is all I ever wanted to do. I want to create for others to enjoy. "The best way to know yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others"

When I was very little, I had the passion to become a creative worker. It just becomes greater while studying in this field.

2022 after graduating from bachelor of design I have decided that my talent and interest lies in 3d animation industry.

its in my high school

When I study in my old University , I begin to study 3D modelling and 3D Animation. After 2-3 semester, i realized that I want to spend 8-10 hours a day with this industry. I love creating 3D character and animate them. It is really interested me and gives me a lot of energy

Since I was a kid I have always been the creative type often losing myself in stories and worlds. It wasn't in till high school that I realised working in the creative industries was an option. After learning this I started out in art before moving over to animation. As of now my dream is to work on 3D animated films or tv series as an animator.

I came from a corporate career as a content creator for learning programs. When the pandemic hit there was no longer a way to travel, film or collaborate in-person so 3D Animation became a viable and exciting world to jump into. Eventually my passion for the 3D craft took over and decided to quit my job and study a Masters in Animation and Visualisation full time.

I've always loved games and the Immersion they bring and after realising that coding wasn't for me, I realised that 3D was the next best thing!

Well, I was born in 1991, so I first realised I wanted to work in the industry in about 1991. Nah, as soon as I found out about "traditional" work, I realised I didn't want to do THAT. Ooh so it's like school, but longer hours and just one subject forever. Cool-cool-cool-cool. Then one day when I was 15 I had an epiphany- somewhere, somewizard is making all the rad stuff I love... but it's not a wizard, it's just some guy who maybe killed a wizard and stole his hat. I'm down for that.

I always have a great passion for interesting design and storytelling, and the dream of becoming a creator myself motivates me to pursue a career in the creative industry.

The moment I started to appreciate the storytelling of games, movies, character/environment designs and how minute details can really enhance the narrative. I want to do that one day too :)

When I was in primary school I used to spend a lot of time drawing fake pokemon and designing imaginary places. I really wanted to bring these imaginary things to life and share them with other people, so as soon as I found out it was something that could be done as a job it became a focus for me.

When I was surrounded by different passionate and creative artists. I felt the energy around me and I wanted to work and collaborate with these people to create something that benefitted the world whether it be entertainment or another medium other than film or games.

Before 2018: Working in China for 5 years and 8 months in Sydney, also outsourcing. 2018 ~ now: Graduated from AIT (Academy of Information Technology) and Studying Master's degree at UTS (University of technology of Sydney).

The first time for me is when I started drawing when I was a kid, knowing deep down I wanted to draw in my career. When I first studied animation, I enjoyed looking at the result you worked on and that's when I realised I wanted to work in the creative industry.

It's about 5 years ago when I finished my Uni year one for animation design. This industry is attractive, I am enjoying the process of animation production so much. Especially the process that makes a character from some paper sketches to 3D animation, I believe every character is alive.
