She entered her first online logo design competition 5 years ago and that marks the start of her creative career. Crowdsourcing competitions helped her to gain experience and build a great portfolio and she slowly got involved in a lot of different creative fields, mostly by guessing, trying different methods and simply by learning from what others have created. Today, she works mainly on illustration, branding and animation projects. But besides that, she loves photography as well as it helps her to capture everyday objects, people and places that later serve as inspiration for her works.
You know how some people get inspiration from music, books, people, or even traveling? Anna is one of them. She lives in a quiet village with her boyfriend and their little girl. In their free time, they travel a lot around the island or visit friends and family in Budapest, which is a super inspiring city for her.
If you have seen one of her video creations (like the ones here for Tag Heuer and Lux), you may have thought that she has had a formal education in filmmaking, but in fact, she has never had any! Video making seems like the next step from graphic design and photography for her.
My first video project was a competition on eYeka for Kempinski and my video won the first prize, which is a very kind memory to my heart. I’ve experimented with stop motion techniques and animation as well. Today I’m more into animation as it provides endless opportunities for creative ideas.. nothing is impossible :)And having been creating such awesome videos and winning 17 prizes so far (and counting, I'm sure) make us wonder, does she have a team that works with her and how's her creation process usually like? This is what she has to say:
I usually like brainstorming with my boyfriend as he’s a big fan of videomaking and my works as well. We make a great team when it comes to scriptwriting and I trust his opinion a lot. At the production stage, if I’m working with actors, I usually ask friends to participate and it’s all about teamwork; if I’m doing an animation, then it’s much more like a journey in my mind. Post processing can be quite tiring as it involves a lot of sitting in front of my laptop and fighting with deadlines but it does produce a hell lot of adrenaline! :)
Don’t be afraid to experiment and try new things every time you start a project. Learn from others but don’t copy them. Be yourself, find your own voice and create honest work that you can 100% identify yourself with. Be kind to others. :)Thank you for your time, Anna. We are glad to have such an inspiring creator here in eYeka. Keep on rocking and creating amazing stuffs :D
