Kenistan Johnson
3D Animation and VFX second-year student
I studied 3D Animation and VFX at AMDT. The course taught me a lot about the industry and shaped my imagination and it has always been an incredible driving force in my life, and has done and still does have an influence on almost everything I do.
My imagination has always been the most natural and easiest way for me to express myself. Putting pencil, brush, or clay on a blank canvas and bringing something I or somebody has envisioned to life for others to enjoy and marvel at.
When reading a book I immerse myself into the characters and environments, often sketching out a great scene with great emotion and gestures. I often get people to approach me to design them a logo, tattoos or paint something for room decoration, offers I always jump at.
It wasn’t until recently however, that I have thought about pursuing art as a career; it’s been a dream my whole life, a dream that I never thought could really come true. AMDT has always been supportive in my path to becoming an artist. For me, to be able to have a career in art is like winning the Lottery.
But with support from people around me admiring my sketches, sculpting’s and random musings and a fresh and yet more mature perspective on life, I believe it’s about time I took a “leap of faith’: Looking forward, I am excited and have an incredible drive to see where the future may take me!
