A Small Biography

Hi, I'm Matthew DeAraujo and I'm an aspiring 3D animator. I'm originally from New Jersey and came to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in the fall of 2006. About halfway through my time at AiP, I realized that I loved animation and desired to learn as much as I could to get better. With the help of my teachers and fellow students, I worked and worked to strengthen my animation skills. Thanks to many classes where I got to use my animations for the final project, I began to develop a range of different styles for various characters. Now that I've graduated the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, I plan to continue working on my animations and take on new challenges such as more facial rigging/animation, while looking for a 3D animator job in the game industry.
