Welcome to my blog

Welcome to my blog! Today, I would like to begin by introducing myself, Nick Alloca. Growing up in Dumont, New Jersey, just a few miles away from New York City, I was captivated by the animation style of the "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" TV show on Cartoon Network. This early fascination sparked my lifelong passion for animation.

I am a recent graduate of Ringling College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Art in Computer animation. In the pursuit of my career, I have learned the principles of animation and worked with every aspect of the animation pipeline. I created 10-20 second animations and a short film with bipedal characters that I modelled and rigged. My thesis film, as well as details of its creation can be found here on my website at https://www.nickalloca.com/. I've worked with industry standard software like Maya, Nuke, Premiere and many others. I'm always looking to learn within the world of animation and continue to expand and enhance my skills.

In this blog, I aim to explore the world of animation. I'll delve into their creative processes, the challenges they face, and the incredible work they produce. Whether you're an aspiring animator or simply a fan of animated films and shows, I hope to provide you with insights and inspiration from the animation industry.

Stay tuned for more posts where we'll dive deeper into the art of animation.
