Duvan Camilo Zapata Rodriguez

About Me:

I am a Colombian visual designer, Graphic Designer, Photographer and a 3d Animator, with bachelors in 3d Animation, a diplomate in VFX and a certificate in Composition and in Nuke. Besides my specializations, I have an extreme passion for computers, drawing and may other qualities. My best goal is to achieve the best feedback for what I do and to do it in the best way. Plus, always improving my style to do something different each time.

Objective, Vision and Method:

The objective is to provide an introduction to computational techniques by generating animation and compositions. Topics will include methods that have applications in the creation of movie effects, the development of video games, and training simulations. While the focus will largely be on physically based methods for the automatic generation of motion, this will cover methods for user control of animation and reuse of captured motion data.

I am able to identify the advantages and disadvantages of using simulation, procedural animation, motion capture, hand designed animations, and visual effects with respect to both online and offline applications. I will also be able to implement visual techniques, using common software languages and tools. Finally, in addition to an understanding of current practices in film animation, a general objective is for me is to better recognize current important challenges in computer animation and visual effects.
