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

In year 10, I realized I loved making games and wanted to learn by taking a TAFE course to see if I enjoyed the process and found out I loved learning 3D modeling so after school I went straight to uni to learn more and here I am!

I think my love for creativity began as a child, however towards the end of my high school years is when I knew Film and Visual Effects was the pathway I wanted to explore more. With a strong passion and interest in the creation of films and the process in which visual effects are created, exploring and shifting my education and development in this direction was a great decision.

I realised I wanted to work in this industry when I was presented the opportunity to create a short film in my final year of high school for my major project.

I first became interested in the VFX industry after seeing online communities and the amazing art people were creating with 3D programs. I really enjoy the challenge of working through problems along with the continuous learning that the field provides.

I have always been creative, I got to chance to express my drawing capabilities when I was studying 2D animation in my bachelors degree (Communication Design), and I loved it so much I built a folio of my 2D work and decided to expand my knowledge in a 3D Visual Effects course at Rising Sun Pictures, I knew from pursuing my passion in art over the last 4 years, that the media entertainment industry would be most suited for me to express my creative flair :)

From a young age I was interested in working in video games, that interest developed into an interest in visual effects as I became interested in video editing and production. I began messing around with Maya and the potential that I discovered lead me to VFX.

I initially wanted to get into game design, but once I started doing a few certificate courses in game design and visual effects, I quickly came to realize my love and passion for the visual effects industry

Growing up I was always loved films and developed a passion for camera aesthetics and techniques as I made my way through school. I started out as a photographer taking photos of landscapes and people at any given chance. After high school I completed a Bachelor of Media Arts and decided I wanted to become a Camera Operator for TV and Films.

I’ve always been involved with media since high school but only last few years have been highly interested in working in Visual Effects as jobs are open world wide including Australia to work on leading feature films such as Marvel. I’ve been training and learning the last 2 years to break into the VFX industry

When I was still studying in University of South Australia, Rising Sun Pictures was talking about how their visual effect working in their industry. After hearing that, I got interested with it because I love to watch many sci-fi movies when I was child. My first thing sci-fi movie was Star War: Revenge of the Sith. Therefore, I want to work in the creative media and entertainment industry that create more interesting effect on movies.

I have been drawing since I was little and am a very visual student in general. I grew up drawing traditional and currently learning digital and slowly improving. I had other career options I was interested in such as forensic science and medicine, however my passion for art was always greater.

I realized I wanted to work in the creative industries when I watched E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in the cinema, a film that captivated me with its storytelling, visual effects, and emotional impact. In 2002 I bought my first analog SLR camera, which became my gateway into visual storytelling. Experimenting with photography helped me understand the nuances of light, composition, and perspective, solidifying my love for visual arts.

What probably sparked a desire to be in creative industries was when I started watching content online, namely from the website "YouTube, when I was thirteen. I was drawn in by how the creators from the website were so creative and how they used their creativity to entertain people. Since then, I have been interested in the more creative side of things.

I've always loved screen and media, from making my own shorts while growing up to experimenting in Adobe Creative Cloud once my high school obtained a license. My passion for art and design led me to enroll in Film and Television with the goal of studying at Rising Sun Pictures. I'm now in my final year of UniSA's new Bachelor of Visual Effects program, in partnership with Rising Sun Pictures, and I'm excited about making new connections and expanding my portfolio.

I've always been interested in music and film, and in recent years been looking for my pathway into the VFX industry.

When i was a kid, a lot of movies inspired me, one in particular was Pixar's the Incredibles, i was a huge fan of superheroes and animation at the time (still a fan of animation) and the Incredibles in particular was amazing and really blew my mind. as i grew up i realized how revolutionary it was, with the many new simulations they created for the film and helped Pienaar future projects and for many and even inspired me to move further into the field of VFX.

I realized I wanted to work in the creative industries at a young age.

Since my childhood I always wanted to work in the film industry and discovered in recent years a passion for visual effects. I strongly believe that it's never late to pursue our dreams. Therefore, here I am.

When I was younger, I watched a behind the scenes for 'The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion' and seeing their process for making textures and assets that the player could later interact with was the catalyst for my creative career and desire to learn more.

After realising aviation wasn't the right industry for me, I turned to my video editing passions and from there, knew I wanted to be in the creative industry. A good friend of mine introduced me to the Bachelor of Film and TV course at UNISA Magill. Having the insight on what the course was about, I wasted no time at all applying for the course and pursuing visual effects.
