I was visiting family and traipsing in my transit van, in semi-retirement mode from Australia, open to good luck and serendipity, and saw the post. I thought, why not?
I had a good play with 3D animation software in the mid-late 90s and loved it. One project I remember was making a bubble with a reflective surface, copying it to create an array of bubbles and copying the array to make multiple streams of different-sized bubbles all reflecting off each other. Our computers were a lot slower then, and a single frame took three days to render!
I Chaired the LINC TV, a community television station in northern NSW, where we made a lot of television and music videos, and I taught basic framing up, panning, and editing, as well as 2D text overlays and weather animations. I am thrilled to be back in the industry and helping on this project.
