Sofia took our evening course in Character Creation at Escape Studios, and 3D for VFX, before finding work as a 3D Layout Artist at MPC in London, and later as a Lead Layout Artist at Jellyfish Pictures.
Sofia is one of a number of Escapees to join The Third Floor in recent months.
Sofia Caldeira at Escape Studios
At Escape Studios, Sofia took our evening class in Character Creation, taught by Jonathan McFall. Character Creation is an 18 week evening class in which students learn how to design, model, texture and rig their original characters. Sofia also studied 3D for VFX and, prior to studying at Escape Studios, Sofia worked as a photographer, which provided valuable experience with composition and cinematography.
The Third Floor specialises in visualisation ("previs" and also "postvis") in which digital artists work closely with the director to lock down the look and feel of a project sequence, helping to make creative choices on camera and character performance.
Sofia joins a growing number of Escapees who have recently joined The Third Floor as opportunities in previsualisation and real-time rendering (much of the work is done in Unreal Engine) continue to expand:
- Edoardo Sartori Shot Creator at the Third Floor, March 2021
- Laura Knight joins The Third Floor as a Shot Creator, January 2021
- Harry Pearson joins The Third Floor as a Shot Creator, September 2020
- Sebastian Kuder Joins The Third Floor as Junior Previs Artist, July 2019
