Welcome

Hello!
Welcome to my blog about Studio Practice & Business.

This is the blog where I will post all my work progress and reasearch material for my Studio Practice & Business module.

First off I might as well tell you about me:

I'm a 23 years old (born in 1986) Norwegian which have always had a big interest when it comes to computer/video games and Computer Graphics. The interest started of course with games as I got my first meeting with computer/video games at the age of 4-5 and was basically hooked ever since, and of course had the dream about participating in creating games in the future myself.

In my early teens I started to become more aware of 3D software and tried whatever software I could get my hands on. Of course as young and dumb as I was I didn't get very far with any of them. Softwares like "TrueSpace" "Blender 3D" "Cinema 4D".
It was first when a friend of mine gave me a copy of LightWave 3D 7.5 I started getting hang of the basics and principles within 3D which helped me a lot once I started my education for this field of study.

Of course by this point, several CG movies had been released (Shrek, Ice Age, all the Pixar movies etc) and I have gotten more and more interested in film production and animation specially. It's a lot of hard work, but so satisfying seeing that character come to life.

For the past 2 years I have attended Noroff Instituttet in Bergen where I have finished "3D Design and Animation" and "3D Filmproduction". The first year mainly focuses on teaching the technical aspects of 3Ds Max (Modelling, Texturing, Lighting, Animation, Rendering) while the second year focuses on how to produce a short movie in terms of story telling, concept art, storyboards and everything that has to do with Pre-Production. At the end of year two we are given the task to produce a short film (2-5min) in approx 6 months.

I fancy 2D animation but personally I'm a 3D animator.

My biggest goal and dream is of course to end up working as an animator for Pixar. Which I hope will be the outcome of this module. By this I mean that I will learn the pathway to get to reach my goal (Pixar) in the end.

From here I guess there's not much more to tell about me so if you have further questions just ask me=)
