I am currently based in Los Angeles, California and have worked with some of the biggest clients in the world including PlayStation, Xbox, Meta, Apple, and Google, creating award winning 2D and 3D animations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">Some of my most exciting projects (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliverkeane.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.oliverkeane.com<\/a>) include motion design for the PlayStation 5 launch, advertising for major video games, and digital content for industry leaders on how their companies are helping make the world a better place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">I am also a motion director, applying my leadership skills and creative experience to coming up with concepts and innovative ways of amplifying digital products and messaging, while also delivering top quality motion graphics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\"><b>Was a career in animation and motion design something you had always wanted to do?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">No, not at all \u2013 I didn\u2019t really know it was a career option. I loved animation when I was a kid, growing up watching Dexter\u2019s Laboratory on Cartoon Network and Spiderman on Fox Kids, but I was always mind boggled on how they created it. I found it fascinating &#8211; I started drawing these characters from the age of five but had no idea how to bring them to life. It wasn\u2019t until I got to college that I realized this could be a future career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\"><b>How did you get started in this career?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">When I was younger, my brothers would come home from work and just randomly draw on newspapers. I used to try and copy them, to prove I could be as good as them. Trying to best my brothers is where I think my journey to being an artist really began.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">In school, I wasn\u2019t the best test taker, and most subjects never really interested me \u2013 all I could think about was drawing. I would even get in trouble for drawing on desks all the time. Fortunately, one of my teachers, Miss Sweetman at Mayfield Community School, encouraged me to keep drawing, taught me how to paint and eventually guided me to Col\u00e1iste Stiof\u00e1in Naofa (College College of FET &#8211; Tramore Road Campus).<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">Though I hadn\u2019t heard of the school before, I attended the Open Day and after speaking with the Art teachers, I decided to apply to the Art, Craft and Design Course. Fortunately, I was accepted, and I absolutely loved the course.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">My favourite module was Graphic Design as I got to use a computer \u2013 I didn\u2019t have my own computer until I was 19, so this was really exciting. This led me to explore different computer programs and in my spare time I would try to create animations. I showed one of my Windows Movie Maker animations to my teacher, Lucy Phelan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">She saw my talent and ambition and introduced me to John Halpin, the head of the Digital Media course. John showed me the room where the course was held, with all of the computers and equipment.<\/p>\n<p>He even showed me some of the student work, including a 3D model of a church, with light streaming through the church\u2019s windows. It was then I knew that this is exactly where I was meant to be and what I was meant to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">After I finished Art Craft and Design, I got accepted to the Digital Media Course and developed skills in animation, motion design, 3D, advanced graphic design, and web design.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">Once I completed the Digital Media Course, I earned my BA in Digital Media Design at the University of Brighton in the UK. From there, I had an internship turned full time job as an animator in Brighton and eventually moved on to work as a designer at an advertising company in London. Over a decade later, I wouldn\u2019t change a thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\"><b>How did the PLC courses in particular prepare you for the next step in your educational journey?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">The PLC courses set me up for success \u2013 they gave me the practical tools to thrive in the real world. I was never the best test taker or the best in school, but because of the PLC courses, this didn\u2019t keep me from a successful career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\"><b>Would you recommend these courses to others looking to break into this career space and if so why?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">Yes 100% I\u2019d recommend these courses as they help you figure out what you want to do before committing to a course in a university that could end up costing you a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\"><b>What is the best part of your job?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">The best part of my job is seeing my work out there in the real world! I once made an animation for the Natural History Museum in London. I went to go see it and it was so rewarding to see people looking at my work on the screens, smiling. Seeing their reactions made me feel grateful and love my job even more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\"><b>Is there a career moment you are really proud of?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">My favourite football team is Manchester City. Since I was a kid, I would go on the Manchester City website daily to check out any updates. A few years ago, I had the pleasure of working with them on a video about how to become an official Manchester City supporter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">It was a massive achievement for me as I\u2019ve been supporting Man City all my life! I worked from the Manchester offices, seeing the ins and outs of how the club was run. For a while, I got to go to their website and see my own work! The video was also played around the city of Manchester. Definitely a career highlight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\"><b>What\u2019s the best piece of career advice you\u2019ve received?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">\u201cDream bigger\u201d &#8211; The creative director at my first job in London, Michael-Jason Hobbs, told me at my yearly review that I needed to think bigger. He asked me what my mountain top was. Where did I want to be in 10 years? I told him I\u2019d like to be an art director in Motion but he said I had the potential for more, that I could be a creative director or a top director in motion design one day. Sometimes you don\u2019t see your own potential, but others might.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\"><b>What would you say to someone thinking about animation\/motion design as a career?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">Be willing to work hard and be flexible &#8211; Remember Rome wasn\u2019t built in one day. Getting good at something takes time and determination. I\u2019ve seen the most talented artists fail because they didn\u2019t want to put the time in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\"><b>What advice would you have for people trying to decide what they want to do after school?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">My dad Brendan gave me great advice while I was in school that I\u2019d like to share. He said, \u201cdo what you love and everything else will fall into place.\u201d I have lived by this, and it has gotten me through times when I\u2019ve doubted myself. Thanks, Dad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\"><b>Is there anything else you\u2019d like to add?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\">Though I have had great opportunities, if you want a career, you have to go and get it. It takes a lot of hard work and resilience, but with the right people in your corner you can achieve anything. Don\u2019t let anyone tell you that you can\u2019t. You can and if you work hard, you will.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph\"><i>Discover Post Leaving Certificate and pre-university courses on offer near you at\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/thisisfet.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>thisisfet.ie<\/i><\/a><i>.
