As the 2011 winds down and I look forward to what 2012 holds for my career and family I think about what got me to where I am today. I remember back in 2006 I was just surfing the interwebs and came upon some work from a studio called Onesize. Up until this point I was content with living in the world of live action. I thought that writing, shooting, and editing would be the tools I used every day for the rest of my working life. I always enjoyed motion graphics and incorporated it into my work but never to the degree I use it now. So anyway, I found Onesize and took a look at their reel and I was just amazed.

The airwaves are polluted with motion graphic work but this stuff was just so refreshing. At that moment something clicked in me to know that this is what I wanted to do. I already new After Effects a little bit at that point but I learned more and then I went out and bought Cinema 4D and started to learn it. I went back to school to finish a degree focusing on design. All of this started by me watching a reel. I hope 2012 is an epic year and if it is I think I’ll owe the people at Onesize a beer. Do you remember what got you interested in motion design?
