The story so far:Little did the world know that the boy born that fateful spring day would embark on a magnificent journey. A journey that would take him around the world and back, and change it all in the process.What started out as mere stick figures, gracefully posed to resemble people in movement, gradually grew to become an interest in all things visual. Painting, building, sculpting or moving things around, the boy did all this with heart and joy and eventually he decided to make a living out of bringing people the magic images he loved so much himself. But this is ahead of the story... Not only did our little boy have an interest in the visual appearances of things, but also in the wonders of technology. Whenever he could he would indulge himself in the workings of computers and machines, but most of all in the things they would produce. Video games became more than an interest - it became a passion! It did not matter if it was a racing track or a galaxy far, far away that was the scene for his adventures, he loved them all and he played them like he meant it. When primary school was done he went to town to learn about computers and electronics. The education brought him knowledge about language, nature and society and as he was an excellent learner he finished with good grades. This brought about the opportunity that would change everything. In the year of 2006, having finished his year in military service, the boy arrived at the university of Skövde to study Video Game Development and graphics. What followed was the best four years of the boys life and when he emerged a bachelor in media he was not just a graduate, nor was he just a video game artist. The little boy was gone and standing on the peak of the academic mountain, looking out across a world of opportunities, stood Tobias Ljungström - Animator! |
