TRANSCRIPT
I wanted to convey within my brand mantra that I am crea2ve because I have always been insanely passionate about art. Also my passion for videogames is immense as to where I’ve known that I’ve wanted to work in videogames since about age 12. The informed por2on of my mantra is to illustrate that I am very knowledgeable and educated within my field.
1
When I was younger I use to play countless hours of a video game called Halo 2. Ever since this 2me I realized that I wanted to make games as a career.
2
I would watch developer video documentaries when I was younger geEng insanely inspired to work in games.
3
Around my sophomore year I realized my ar2s2c talent and started taking the steps necessary to prepare me for an ar2s2c career.
4
I hope to graduate with the crea2on of a very strong porJolio. I want to become as knowledgeable as possible within my degree to ensure I achieve my dream of working in the game industry.
6
My goal is to excel in a work place by working very hard and following and execu2ng work procedures to my employers standards
8
My goal is to excel in a work place environment working as a team player and providing for the most important thing in my life, my family.
9
I believe that working as hard as I possible can and not coas2ng through anything is going to be the best founda2on for achieving my goals.
10
I know that there is a lot at stake and a lot of pressure for me to make a stable career to support my family. This is what is going to help give me drive to excel in my career.
11
My target audience is people who appreciate a digital medium and want to loose themselves in the worlds I hope to create for them.
12
Working in games I have to understand that the audience is a very diverse age group not necessarily bound to a certain demographic anymore.
13
I understand tailoring certain things and how to tailor my skills towards whichever demographic my employer will want me to target my games for.
14
My compe22ve advantage comes from extensive knowledge, fast adapta2on, being team player, and being very technologically inclined.
15
I can lead others and inspire work within others, as well as be led and be inspired by others in return
18
I understand my limita2ons and can work hard through anything, keeping in mind that a cure for anything is hard work.
19
I hope to inspire people to create something one day with the art I create or at least appreciate what I do on a personal level
21
I create art because it is the best way for me to express myself, I have always believed in the medium of videogames being the ul2mate art form. I just want to be apart of their crea2on process one day it has always been my dream. I can prove that I am the most qualified and I have the talent to work for anyone.
22
I have worked mul2ple posi2ons not really pertaining to video game arts but they have lent a hand to helping me grow in other ways. I have worked a lot of jobs that have put me in the role of communica2ng with a lot of people mainly those of who I have never met. This helps me because I have built great charisma and the ability to speak with anyone on an invi2ng, professional, or friendly level. This is very beneficial when wan2ng to convey my professional “game plan” to people or poten2al employers.
23
A large personal accomplishment was having my tradi2onal artwork displayed at an art gallery in Anaheim, California at the Rothick Art Haus. Since before and during the dura2on that I knew I wanted to work in games I have always done personal tradi2onal and digital artwork not necessarily pertaining to games or a career. To be able to have my work displayed somewhere as in an art gallery was a dream come true and a very amazing an humbling experience to show my work alongside some amazing and influen2al ar2sts to me.
24
At the last college I aUended, Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. I had a very large scholarship awarded to me based on my ar2s2c talent. Knowing that my ar2s2c talent was worth tens and thousands of dollars to someone was an awesome ideal to back up my work.
25
List of programs I have experience with. Autodesk Maya Adobe Photoshop Pixelogic Zbrush Crazy Bump Xnormal UDK 3 Unreal Engine 4 Unity Game Engine Adobe Illustrator Mac Opera2ng System Windows Opera2ng System Microso` Office
26
In order to become the most successful with myself I need to stay focused, crea2ve, and passionate.
29
I have always felt that if your going to do something do it 100% or why try at all? I have to remember that I am going to be the best person I can be in order to provide for the ones I hold close to me. I need to remember to stay passionate about what I am doing and driven. If I remember and con2nue to do those two things nothing is going to stop me from achieving my dreams.
