Malik O. Smith
Student
Bronx, NY, USAI am currently enrolled at the Maryland Institute College Of Art(MICA). My interest has always been in the arts which influenced my decision to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Animation. I have completed three years at MICA and will be entering my final year in August. I am on schedule to graduate in 2014
Since I began my studies at MICA I have become more proficient in the following areas:
•2D animation
•3D animation
•stop motion
•digital storyboarding, paintings and illustrations
Most of my work are done with the following programs/software: Adobe Creative Suite, 3DS Max, and old fashioned pencil and paper.
I build on knowledge gained at MICA by interning on projects with individuals in the industry. On these projects I performed my assigned task using a variety of programs used in making make digital media.
My short term goal is to secure a position with a major studio where not only will I have the opportunity to learn , but also to contribute to the production of great animation. My hope is that the foregoing will move me closer to achieving my ultimate goal of being in charge of a major studio producing a long running television series.
