It's hard to believe it's been nearly eight years since I last refreshed my website. As a freelancer, the dance between contracts can often leave personal projects, like updating a personal site, on the backburner. Time flies when you're caught in the whirlwind of work, deadlines, and ever-evolving technology.
Then came the disruption that was COVID-19, a period of turbulence but also introspection for many. For me, it offered a rare pause—a chance to take stock, breathe, and rediscover the passions that first drew me to this field.
Reflecting on my career's trajectory, I've been awestruck by the incredible advancements in 3D tools and pipelines. They've expanded in capability and finesse, opening doors to new storytelling dimensions. This dynamic shift in the industry, coupled with my personal growth, has rekindled a passion within me reminiscent of my teenage years. I can't help but recall the thrill at 16, juggling homework on bus rides to spare evenings for the latest Andrew Kramer After Effects tutorial.
Now, as I witness this significant leap in 3D technology, that same exhilaration—the pure, unbridled enthusiasm of a younger me—surfaces once again. With that said, I've decided to pivot. While I've cherished my time in live-action video editing, I feel the future beckoning me more towards 3D rendering.
So, here's to new beginnings, to embracing the ever-evolving realm of 3D storytelling, and to the boundless possibilities that lie ahead. Let's journey into this exciting future together. Cheers!
