Introduce Yourself : Hi there, 3d graphics, rigging and compositing by Michele Hjorleifsson

Hi Michele - your HBO spot is really, really impressive. Wow. I also checked out your reels - you are extremely talented in many different disciplines - animation, 3d, rigging, it's pretty extraordinary. What made you decide to get into of all this? And what's your favorite to do?

Completely agree with Julie. Remarkably impressive.

Thanks, I actually started as an IT guy as graphics wasn't really there when i started in the field and most of the momentum was on the west coast and I am an east coast guy.. once the costs were inviting to go freelance i put my technical skills and my love and desire for the art form to work.. My favorite projects are Pre-Visualizations (architecture, products, theme parks etc) & Motion graphics the first where we are taking an idea and making it a virtual reality and the second where we are taking a marketing message and making it appealing :)

Thanks for the positive feedback it's appreciated

Very cool answer Michele - do you find yourself daydreaming a lot when you see things that inspire you? Meaning are you visualizing making things come to life all the time?

Pretty much.. have a nack for coming up with marketing approaches (visually) that way :)
