About me
Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide at this very moment will be viewing videos that have been created in some way by 3D software. They view this material to relax, to socialise, to learn or to just see the incredible things that can be achieved using 3D software. This is what is so inspiring about 3D software - it is a language that every culture understands and it can bring together people from a wide variety of these cultures.
This is why I gain a great deal of satisfaction from turning an idea into a life-like 3D model, then texturing, rigging, lighting and animating it through to the moment I hit the Render button. My first experience of this was before university, when I modelled each part of a Desert Eagle gun and animated it to reload each clip and fire its bullets. As my knowledge of Autodesk Maya at this stage was self-taught and having not learnt rigging yet, I keyframed each part of the gun separately, which sparked my passion for really making an idea come to life. My academic experiences at university allowed me to both extend and refine my knowledge by learning about numerous software packages, new hardware and techniques that I had previously been unaware of, such as motion capture and texturing using Diffuse, Specular, Height Maps, and so on.
What particularly attracts me to working at Pixel Circus is the wide variety of projects undertaken and the impressive quality of these videos.
This role is an incredible opportunity to expand on the experience I have gained during freelance projects, personal projects and during University. I look forward to overcoming the challenges that I will be inevitably faced with in this complex and highly variable industry, in order to contribute to the development of media that have the power to significantly contribute to the quality of lives of those who view them and be a major influence on the sales of products. Thank you very much for viewing my application and I hope to hear from you soon.
