A still of backgrounds from Amy He?s thesis film.
Dana Miele
Amy He has been interested in creating art as far back as she can remember.
Originally from Tai Yuan, more than 400 kilometres south of Beijing, He moved to Canada with her parents Ping and Laura He at 8 years old.
He is a 4th-year Animation student who hasn?t looked back since she first heard about the reputation of Sheridan College?s Animation program.
He?s parents have always supported her decision to choose a career in art.
?The competition in the art field is overwhelming. The likelihood of success is minimal. My parents have always acknowledged my interest in art, even when I was? much younger.?
Animation takes patience. The hours spent at school can be equal to a full-time job.
?It was easy for me to decide what I wanted to do for school. It?s the only thing I am willing to admit I am good at and the only thing I have the passion to do,? He explained. ?With the students coming in at al odd hours, we?ve become a studio family. Everyone knows one another.?
He doesn?t fail to notice the talent and dedication of her peers.
Companies campaign for students in their final year to grab dibs on recent graduates.
?There is a factor of luck,? said He. ?It isn?t that one student is better than the other. It?s a combination of talent, exposure at the right moment, networking and luck.?
He continued to practise her skills this summer when Sheridan College was working toward rebranding.
As a part-time designer for Sheridan, He worked on the flyers and posters that are still plastered throughout the school hallways.
He also interned with friends at Chuck Gammage, a commercial studio with connections to Warner Brothers.
?The studio produced background paintings and produced a lot of commercials I remember from when I was a kid.?
The bigger picture for He involved working in the production of family entertainment.
The world of animation has had a major shift toward 3D in the past five years, but He is determined to stay 2D.
?I?m not immediately compelled to drawing monsters but I know I wanted to work for Disney when I was 11 years old after I saw Tarzan. Pencil to the paper is what matters for me.?
He has applied for a fine arts program in Florence but is hoping to get work with a major animation company before then.
