My name is Gabriel Monaco and I am a junior at Bowie High School in Austin, Texas. I first gained an interest in animation during middle school when I took a graphic design class. In that class I gained skills in GIMP, Inkscape, and Blender where I started 3D animation. I took the class because I love designing and building things even outside of animation, and animation seemed like a subject that I would be able to do just that. I also took a video design class, which I found very fun and interesting, and is something I would consider as a career. I also took animation 1, where I learned a lot about the principles of animation, as well as Flash, stop motion, and other basic animation programs.
I have experience in Flash, Blender, Photoshop, and After Effects. In the future, I’m thinking about becoming an automotive designer, or a video game designer. Both video games and cars are big hobbies of mine, and I feel it is a field of work I would really enjoy. I think it would be awesome to see something I create become a reality and something people would actually use. I would like to go to a college that specializes in animation, computers, or engineering. Although i’m not exactly sure where I would like to go yet, It is definitely something I would like to do. I think it would be very beneficial to gain the experience I would use in a real world occupation.
