Ideal CV - after graduation and 1 year internship

  LAURA VARGA         

                        Burbank, California


      Summary        

               A highly motivated and  results driven character designer, with  experience 

            in drawing, 3D modelling and game engines (mainly UDK). 

              Skilled in a few other fields (floristry,management, marketing), having owned a

             flower shop for 7 years. 

              Having the ability to handle complex assignments, I have the confidence to work 

          as part of a team or independently. 

              

             Graduated with a 1st from BA Design for Games at Plymouth College of Art,

         in Plymouth, UK, (one of only four remaining further and higher specialist art and 

         design colleges in the country).

             After my one year internship at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank California, as a 

         Visual Development Artist, my skills and love for animated cartoons have increased 

          considerably.

    

            My internship consisted of :Visually explore a concept, which may include 

            Character Design and/or Environment Design for animated films, shorts and 

             special projects. 

         Visual Development Artists will experiment with the diverse elements of 

           film  presentation to manipulate dramatic story moments, plot thrusts, moods, 

         character conflict and place-time motifs to capture the emotional connection to 

         the story's theme. 

             A rich imagination, a sense of caricature and design, strong color sense, 

          a mastery of human and animal anatomy, architecture, the ability to work in 

          different mediums and the versatility to conceptualise visually in a variety of 

          techniques are required.)
