It was in 2006 when I saw Jojo In The Stars at a local film festival and was blown away by it. I had never thought that some computer generated film might be able to touch me as deeply, to convey the characters feelings so convincingly. And they barely had faces. So much for effective character design.
Back then I was selling guitars at some store and was all devoted to music. But this short film turned it all upside down.
I came quite a long way since.
I was able to get an internship which lead to my first 3D job some months after the screening, went to school, learned and learned and learned. Then I got my job at the company where I'm still working today, Feinheit. I'm still learning new stuff every day working on the job.
And then of course there's Animation Mentor. Best school ever. Short, focused, hard animation training with great people and the best teachers you could imagine.
Tomorrow the new term is going to start and I can't wait for it. The batteries are recharged after my three month break and I'm ready to dive back into my studies.
It's crazy to think that these the minutes lead me to all that change..
Enjoy.
Happy New Year
