1. Why did you want to take this class?
I want to be a 3d modeler, and aspire to eventually design creatures for films. At this point I just want to learn the fundamental software used in the industry.
2. What type of past computer experiences do you have?
Unfortunately my computer experience is relatively minimal. I currently own a mac and have owned pc's in the past, however my knowledge basically only extends to microsoft word and powerpoint, and the internet.
3. Who is your favorite artist?
This depends on the medium. My favorite artist (if forced to choose one) would have to be Salvador Dali. Another artist that I love and look to as a role model is the late Stan Winston, who created some of my favorite creature designs put on film. Also, as far as graphic designers go, my favorite is probably Stefan Sagmiester.
4. Do you have a favorite logo or brand? Why?
There are many logo designed that I enjoy and some that I hate. I form an opinion almost instantly upon seeing a new logo. A favorite that comes to my head immediately is the Warner Bros. Studio logo.
4. Tell me an interesting story about yourself.
I graduated with a B.A. in criminal justice from Kean University in May 2011. Not long after, I came to the realization that what I really wanted to do in life is work in film, behind the scenes. I have always been a drawer (self-taught), and a film lover and I am sure that I want to design and execute creature effects for film (and video games although they are not my preference). I plan to take some classes here at CCC to become familiar with the technology, and then go for a masters or certificate program at one of the top visual effects schools in the world.
6. What kind of computer access do you have outside of class?
I own a macbook but it is old and slow and freezes often so it isn't exactly reliable. I hope that it will suffice for the purposes of this class .
