Tessa Weckström
BA Animation and Visual Effects
Throughout my degree I have explored various aspects of the animation and VFX industry but my interest in photorealism and character creation is what lead me to my chosen specialism.
Having had no previous skills in 3D art prior to starting my course and with the goal of being able to create a completely photorealistic CG creature and character by the end of it, meant I had to push myself more than ever before.
Although I knew it would require hours of research and planning, trial and error, time management and learning to ask and receive feedback, I knew it was something I would be capable of doing.
The AVFX course taught me what I need to know about the industry and together with my independent studies I was able to reach the goal I was aiming for.
Vägen hem – The way home, is a personal project paying homage to my Swedish and Finnish roots. The aim was to create a production ready creature and character while exploring storytelling and world building.
