In the middle of 2018 (i guess) when i started a course of drawing and visual development of character. I saw people actually teaching and making money with something I always enjoyed doing in my free time--to tell stories--, so it was probably then when i realized creative media could be a path for me to follow.

Since I was a kid I was passionate about films and games. After high school, I ended up going to a Film School and spend the next 13 years working with production for features, documentaries, series, TV and branded content. Having worked on projects in Brazil, the USA, Canada, Sweden, Chile and Argentina.

I realise it when i was 15. At This age i started doing a game development course in my city(just a basic course), and the time i spent doing 3d stuff was incredible, I really loved the process of 3d modelling and animation(most of them was low poly stuff, but i do did some high poly modelling as well).

I have always loved animation films and video games, since I was little I was always curious about how games and films were made

I realized that my career as an artist started when I talked to my psychologist, and a while later with the IT guy who worked at the company where I worked. They make me see that I was wasting my time working at that company. And most of all, my brother and cousins. They have a company named "Vida de Motion", and they helped me to started my carrer at 3D Animation and Motion Designer, when I left the other company.

I realized that i want to work with creative media when i had my first contact with 3D in a short boot camp.

I always wanted to work with 3D, because of films and animations it was always a passion

I always wanted to work with art using digital methods, CGI just fits in my life perfectly! :)

I always loved playing games, watching movies and doing some art, so i always wanted to work in entertainment industry :)

When I was a kid I liked to play with my toys and make videos in stop motion (although at the time I didn't know what I was doing) and when I grew up, I saw that this could be a career, and here I am!

I did realise that I want to work in the creative media and entertainment industry, when I saw that I could transform the world and the place around me through of the my art . I know that living with art in my country is not a ''good alternative'', but I' m trying to maintain in order my mental health and my finacerial live, to do something that revolutionizes the world.

When I studied International Business, I wasn't sure about my career. I watched Youtube videos about 3D Animation and Filmmaking and I loved it, but I had to continue my college for some years and, at that time, I didn't know how to start in the animation field. When the pandemic started and we had to be stuck at home, I decided to change and start something new and pursue what I wanted. Finally, I started to study 3D Animation/Filmmaking at Faculdade Méliès in São Paulo - Brazil.

I began to have interest in this field, at 12, and I always wanted to transfer the sensations that games and movies passed to me, like curiosity, happiness and even horror, but I never knew where to start. Only at 16 did my interest in this area really grow, because that´s when I started to take courses and learn how things worked.

The first time I've watched Toy Story. At that moment I have no questions. "I'll work with this 3D art".

I am fascinated with art for as long as I can remember. I does not matter the type, for me, there's nothing more magical than combining all sorts of mediums, styles and types of art with the olny objective of creating greater pieces, that are able to evoque countless different emotions on the audience and the artist.

I discovered that I would like to work in the creative industry, because since I was a little boy, movies, cartoons and games have always enchanted me.

It started very early. Since I was a child I liked to play building objects, streets, avenues, houses, futuristic cars... always visualizing the biggest and best design, even if they were just toothpicks and caps organized in a structure. The first contact with a computer and its dial-up internet, I could see how I could create what I loved to visualize so much and discover new worlds of imagination and creativity.

By now I'm a graphic designer with a postgraduation in Editorial design, working with children's books for more than 6 years now, which I love. But there is a time now I realized that non-moving images were not intriguing enough for me anymore, so last year I decided to invest in 24 fps images education. I always loved animation movies and 3D, in particular, is something I was really curious about. So I decided on 3D animation.

when I was 10 yo and created paper toys to create different toys to play with my friends.

Back in the 7th grade, when I first found out that _real_ people were making those independent 3D animations on youtube, and then discovered those mind-blowing breakdowns of blockbuster VFX shots, and then Video Copilot of course, it finally struck me - I could be a wizard, Harry. I then proceeded to search the life out of me on how all of this witchcraft was done, and test by test, crappy shortfilm by shortfilm, I guess I feel in love with it.

since i was a kid i had such good time drawing and doing art

Comecei meus estudos com a escultura tradicional, e no curso conheci pessoas que trabalhavam com mídia criativa e entretenimento, a partir desse ponto comecei estudar mais sobre o assunto e simplesmente me apaixonei por esse mundo.
