Interview of a successful 3D artist

Hey my name is Mark Janes and I am currently taking a 3D animation course. One assignment we received was to interview some one in our field. So I'm asking if anyone here has some spare time on their hands and could help out an aspiring animator.

Its doesn't matter if you're a modeler or animator or whatever I just want to talk with someone in the 3D arts. Experience is not an issue either even if you just got your first job I would love to hear from you.


I'll just post a list of questions and if you have some free time I would really appreciate it.



What is your name and e-mail?

(you will not be contacted unless my teachers feel they need to prove the authenticity of the interview, if you feel uncomfortable posting your personal info or interview feel free to e-mail me at kazzap@shaw.ca)

What experience have you had in the 3D arts?

Did you set goals and if so have you achieved them?

What do you feel was your secret to success?

Did you have a mentor or role model?

What sacrifices have you made?

Are you familiar with the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People?

What tools have you received training on?

Do you have any habits or daily routines that contribute to your success?

Do you feel you are an Introvert or an Extrovert?

Are you familiar with the MBTI?

What personal training have you taken or received from your employer?

How do you continual sharpen your skills?


I can't thank you enough for taking time out of your schedule to help me out.

Okay the due date is coming up soon so anyone who reads this feel free to reply. Still going to school? Never gone to school and just like to animate? Its all good.
