Summary

My name is Joseph Matthew Linares, I am an aspiring Computer Animation Student at Full Sail University. The discipline that I'm currently focusing on is Visual Development, however I'm looking forward to learn and improve on my animation skills for greater flexibility in the industry. I chose this career path because both animation and Sci-Fi films played a great part in my childhood, I was completely moved by films that brought ground-breaking features with new technology and techniques such as Star Wars, Finding Nemo, even somewhat recent movies like Avatar and Interstellar. I was also acquainted with videogames for most of my childhood which is an area that i'm also very passionate about and that promoted me to follow my dreams.
