 Work Placement at Ubisoft |

Ok, it has been delayed long enough. Time for some awesome news, as promised.
My Not Typed Animation won the Character Animation award at VIS Awards (2nd May 2009). VIS awards is a programme setup by the University of Teesside to recognise and reward the students in the School of Computing. More info >>
 | The prize for winning the award was a 6 month internship at Ubisoft*, and because I'm in my 2nd year, a 12 months work placement was more ideal. After some deliberation, I've been offered the full 12 months! I'll be working on the animations for some of Ubisoft's latest games and will be based in Newcastle, UK. Hopefully, I'll get my name in the credits too  . |
I finished my 2nd year of University on the 15th May, and should be going home to Malaysia in June-July (till I start work at Ubisoft).
You might be wondering why I havn't posted my other two 3D animations yet, and that is because I'm currently in the process of refining and polishing the animation of the "stuck". And I'm getting a friend to do the music and sounds for my robot factory animation, which should be cool .
*Ubisoft is a leading producer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment products worldwide. It is the fastest growing company in the videogame industry and has grown considerably through its strong and diversified line-up of products and partnerships. Ubisoft has offices in 21 countries and sales in more than 50 countries around the globe. It is committed to delivering high-quality, cutting-edge videogame titles to consumers. Source >> |

 Awesome news coming soon |

Hey guys,
I've got some really awesome news to share with everyone. I don't want to give it away just yet because I need some more time to get things sorted and confirmed. So stay tuned  .
Apart from the inevitable awesome news post that will come, you can expect 2 new 3D animations to be released after May 15th (end of my 2nd year). One being a robot factory animation (similar to Alien warehouse animation I did back in 2008, but better!) and the other being a Character animation about a 'stuck' toy character trying to break free.
"Hard work pays off!" |
