Full Sail University
Like many of us, I have been creating
art (of sorts) since early childhood, but my love of animation was
sparked when I saw the video "Money for Nothing" on MTV. Even though the
animation was primitive, compared to current standards, I was
immediately intrigued by this "new style." Years later, I attended Full
Sail University and received my Associates of Science in Computer
Animation degree.
After graduation, I worked full-time for three
years at MG Studios, creating character and environment models, and
animating for a children's program. During this time, I also worked on
my own line of artwork, which was inspired by traditional Japanese
mythology and art, but is more whimsical, and futuristic/steampunk in
style. I've enjoyed featuring and selling my artwork at several events.
I
have also worked with Shocker Toys developing a 3-D version of their
toy, the “Shockini”. Next, I worked with Mihn Kieu Architectural
Design's architects to model various buildings from AutoCAD blueprints
for multiple business presentations. I'm also the co-owner of Agi Agi
Studios, where I have modeled 3-D versions of several toys for rapid
prototyping using character sheets.
Deciding to build upon my
education, I returned to Full Sail University to earn my bachelor's
degree. With a lot of hard work and applying to jobs like it was my full
time job, I finally landed a job at Electronic Arts, where I worked on
various models for Tiger Woods on all platforms from XBOX, PS3, Wii and
PC.
She did an amazing fun job! She shared this with me and am begging and pleading to get a copy myself ;) We'll see how it goes. Thanks Michelle for making this!
Show her some love!
