My name is Andy Quinones and as a visual effects and motion graphics designer I love being part of that team of artist that make all of today's movies and shows so successful. Taking something completely fake like a 3D model and placing it with live action footage, and with just the right elements making it look real is something magical. Motion graphics is another part of my major that I enjoy. Creating something simple like a lower third and making something flashy out of watching it assemble and disassemble on screen is not just something I enjoy but everyone else too, that is the reason almost all shows and news stations have flashy graphic packages and intros.
Right away when I was young I started getting into this career field when I watched one of my first movies Toy Story and was in awe as I saw these toys on screen come to life. This was further reinforced when I later saw Jurassic Park and Terminator 2, I knew then that wanted to learn how is it possible to bring these creatures to life and interact with living people. I chose visual effects because it exposed me to a bit of everything from 3D, animation, graphic design, film, and visual effects. The demand for effects artist will not be going down anytime soon, with so many new movies, shows, and video games being made the demand for visual effects and motion graphics designers continues to go up. It is a career field that allows flexibility like free lancing or working in a studio, and it is always in demand as long as their is a continuing need for entertainment. I hope in 10 - 15 years I am working with Troika branding agency for motion graphics or Motion Studios for visual effects. Both one of the leaders in the respective fields making the best graphic packages and effects for films and shows in the world.
