  EyeRock was my first step into 3D animation. On severaloccasions (starting as a school internship at the age of 16) I was given the opportunity to learn about 3D art and got to see what it is like to work with clients. We maintained a good relationship over the years which allowed me to re-visit the studio occasionally for different jobs mainly focusing on compositing work in After Effects and 3D animation.
