Digital Media Arts College Masters Student David Valenzi
Hello, I’m DavidValenzi. I've been a DMAC student for a while. I moved from Texas in
2005 to attend DMAC, and got my BFA in Animation in 2008. After
that, I moved around Florida for a few years but chose not to work in the
industry.
Eventually, I decided to
come back to DMAC to get my Masters. I let my skills decay after
graduation, so I wanted to improve on those, but mostly, I wanted the
degree so I can teach. The professors here have been a big influence, so
I'm trying to pick up on as much of their technique and knowledge as I
can.
At the moment, I'm
specializing in 3D tracking and set fitting in MatchMover, and rendering
with Maya's Mental Ray renderer, while trying to branch out into effects
with Houdini. My interests extend further than just 3D, though. I'm
a big ol' dork, with interests in standard "geek" things;
fantasy and sci-fi, video games, movies, role-playing games, that sort
of thing. When I've got the time for it, I play a lot of fantasy-inspired
games, like Dark Souls and Skyrim, along with sci-fi and post-apocalyptic
games, like Halo and Fallout. Of course, being in the Masters program at
DMAC, I don't get much time for that! The program itself is tough, but not
impossible. It's definitely a good challenge, and I'm picking up
quite a bit along the way. I'm in my second year here and it's great
to be back among like-minded people and fellow artists.
