Hello creatives! We’re back with another creative profile, this time with Eammy (http://wooshii.com/Eammy). He is an artist, animator and programmer based in Australia, and is experienced in 2D, 3D and special effects. He almost never gives away his real name. Let’s get things started!

How did you get started with creative things? I started drawing comics at school, since the learnings were boring. I gradually invented simple cartoon characters, and continually made comics, entertaining others. Then I started with Flash, where I frustatingly attempted to make awesome cartoons, although they turned out cheap. No-one will ever know of them though, since I was under a different alias at that time ;)

What’s the video you created that you’re most proud of? Even though it’s not that impressive in graphics quality, it would have to be Virtua World. I created it in the same sense as always, that I wanted to make something epic, with voices, music, plot, and characters, and this cartoon is a pretty good achievement in my view. It took a few months to make that cartoon, and it was still frustrating. In terms of graphical achievement, the video I’m most proud of would have to be Viral Marketing – Some Facts.

What video you wish you had made? Something AWESOME and EPIC. Don’t know exactly what. I continually come up with ideas that dominate previous ideas. The cycle is endless. 

What’s your creative process? Somehow, I come up with a wonderful idea, that matches the resources that I have available, and then I do it. I mostly like to take shortcuts (some call it ‘cheating’), and do things quicker and more effective than other people. This takes care of details faster, which is necessary, because I like to have a lot of attention to detail in my works.

What is your dream project? An epic cartoon with heaps of quality and hidden moral / metaphorical meaning. I hope to have this done by the end of the year.

What’s your favourite software for your work? SONY VEGAS PRO!!!

Which software doesn’t exist, but you wish it would? Highly flexible procedural graphics generation software. Something like fractals, but MORE. Also, I want Construct to work properly. Even better, I want something like Construct, but for Flash. And… how about some ray-tracing software that isn’t pain-stakingly slow. I would love to know if any of these exist. 

Tips for making good pitches (and winning them)? Go better than others. What I constantly remind myself is to SHATTER EXPECTATIONS. This is important. And, you have to really want to do the project. Also, skill and talent is helpful. Also, being nice to others goes a long way. 

Tips for getting views? I don’t care much about views. What I’m really interested in is having true fans / friends. 

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I can’t predict the future. What I want though is to have ‘Eammy’ as some sort of organization, where I can take risks and be free to do crazy experiments, and yet still be financially sustainable. I think that would be awesome.
