Ralph Pinel: I was born in Australia, grew up in Sydney and spent most of my early life surfing….much to my father’s dismay. It was through the counter culture of surfing that I first became aware of the effect our culture was having on the environment. This led to an interest in alternative ways of living … I was very aware of the plight of the Planet and environment and the possibility of alternative life styles that were happening at the time.
I started working in 3d Graphics around 15 years ago, freelancing on small animation projects, for companies such as impossible TV on 4mations. I then spent a large part of this time working full time in broadcast graphics doing title Idents, promos etc… I’m now freelancing again – wanting to do more specialist 3d and animation. I work with 3d Studio Max & After Effects, mostly. I’ve had a keen interest in animation and story telling since I began and look forward to doing more of this kind of work… my other interests are photography, philosophy and now I live in the UK Kitesurfing.
