Favorite:

Ever wanted to be an animator or visual effects artist?

Stuart Nankivell in this video charts the evolution of DIY digital art and filmmaking, drawing on his years of experience as an animator, visual effects artist and graphic designer.

Born in Kadina, South Australia, Stuart has always loved the idea of breathing life into imaginary worlds and characters. Growing up on a farm, he built robots fashioned from junk for childhood adventures. A love of painting and drawing began at an early age, which led to art being his strongest subject at school. Stuart graduated from Flinders University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, and following that, completed a Diploma in Multimedia at Prides Business College, where he was able to showcase his traditional art skills. He now works as an animator, visual effects artist and graphic designer with Froling Enterprises in Port Augusta.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
