Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I realised I wanted to work in entertainment since I was a kid, watching trailers of video games and all kinds of movie. I've started to draw very young and never stopped. That's why I got involved in creating images after high school starting in an art school before turning to a special effects school.
I first started my studies in Literature. It was very nice to express myself and to create new worlds, but words aren’t really my thing. ⠀ So I studied Graphic Design in Paris during three years. One day, I discovered ARTFX school, where you can learn VFX and more. It was a revelation for me, and my first reaction to that was Holy*!t it is possible to work on movies ! This day I new this was what I wanted to do ! Working in movies and making people dream like I dreamt before. ⠀
I started having a strong interest in history very early, along with movies and video games. I felt the need to draw what I read or saw in documentaries, and loved creating real or fictitious universes. I then discovered 3D softwares which were fantastic tools to create what I had in my head. I then decided to make that passion my job, so here I am today!
I always drew since I was little, creating stories and worlds. When I saw Avatar I was amazed by its planet and creatures, that's where I discovered the power and freedom you get with CG. Being able to create completely imaginary worlds and make it seems real is really what drove me into the creative media and entertainment industry.
I was always drawing when I was younger so before my bachelor, I knew that the animation industry was something that will suit me. During my first post-bachelor year, in a preparatory year for entries in Art Schools, I discover the VFX industry along with the Animation industry and after gathering informations on both of them, I choosed the VFX industry as I found it more versatile and intriguing.
I realized I wanted to work in the visual effects industry when I was thirteen years old, during an internship in an architecture company. One of my first mission was to model the interior of an appartment using sketchup and I enjoyed it so much that I started to do my own models after school and on the week-ends. At first I was just doing it for fun, but when Blur released Star Wars The old Republic's cinematic in 2009, I remembered saying to myself: "This is what I want to do with my life."
Hi, I'm Aaron Dubois I discovered the passion for 3D since my first study at the Haute Ecole Albert Jacquard (Namur, Belgium). Finished in 2019 with high distinction, I continue my journey at ARTFX to deepen my knowledge. Determine and convinced that 3D is my way, I do all my possible to improve my skills, I completed my master in FX artist with my graduation movie Nellie bly.
I was very young, around 12 or 13, when I found out that I really wanted to be "the magician" behind the scenes of the films I saw at that age. Still today, even being aware of all the cutting edge technology involved, I still surprise myself forgetting all of that for the beauty of the images, because in the end, that is what matters the most.
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.
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.
