My name is Sofia, I am portuguese, I am 27 years old and I have been studying and working on animation for 8 years. I've loved animation since I was a kid and it brings me a lot of joy to give life to characters. I believe animation is the most powerful and creative tool for touching people's hearts and make them feel things they didn't know they had inside them. I left Portugal to go study in France when I was 20 years old. I studied at ESMA (École Supérieure de Métiers Artistiques) Toulouse where I got a master's degree in VFX and 3D Animation. I got the chance to co-direct the short film "Mécanique" which was nominated for multiple festivals across the world. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/JVyLSsq48Ik The day after I graduated I started working at Dwarf Animation Studios in Montpellier, for the TV Series "Apollon le Grillon et les Drôles de Petites Bêtes". Later, I quit Dwarf and I joined TAT Studios, in Toulouse, where I worked for more than one and half year, on the TV Series "Les As de la Jungle". Then, I decided to take a break to study, travel the world and to be closer to my family. I went on a 2 months backpacking trip in South East Asia, by myself. Meanwhile covid-19 got in the way so I returned home and started working as a freelancer. Eventually I missed people and working on longer projects and after a while I was honored to be hired by Ghost VFX Copenhagen. I've been working for Ghost ever since, expanding my skills and animation style. I had the chance to work on very cool projects and to acquire new techniques. I've done a lot of mocap refinement, previs, creature and spaceship animation. In the future I would love to work on feature films! Other than animation, my main interests are sports and nutrition and real estate. I'm a bit of a jack of all trades and I always have my mind on future goals. Voilá, this sums up who I've been so far. If you want to get in touch, feel free to reach out to me! :)
