Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I fell in love with cartoons when I was very young, I would wake up before my parents to watch Gadget Boy & Heather. Pixar movies really nourished this love, the story telling, the beautiful characters, I wanted to be a part of their world, but since I can't actually do that, then I want to help bring those worlds to life. Being an animator means I get to tell the story of future beautiful characters.
I first realized when I was looking for universities that have majors related to computer science, and it turned out that this specific university had a major where there are both CS courses and and VFX courses, The "logic" and the "Art". and that is when I knew that eventually I had to make a choice between the two. After 3 years, I know that I am much more interested in 3d and VFX and Game design than programming or coding games, which gives me much more creativity to work with.
Well after graduation as a graphic designer from Lebanon ( we took 1 course of animation and 1 course of 3d) which is basically nothing. So i figured that animation more (after effects) and it was February of last year when i attended the Video copilot live in Barcelona and Berlin, met amazing designers and artists and it was then when i got motivated to learn more and more. came back to Lebanon invested in a computer and started C4D.
