AN INTERVIEW WITH Sushant Dholakia

Q. Hello Sushant, could you tell us a bit about yourself?

Hi there! Everything in nature including animals, the kaleidoscopic forms and wondrous hues around me, the marvel and beauty that life occasions for me, greatly fascinates my impressionable young mind and fires my imagination. It is this love for creativity which led me to pursue my lifelong ambition. CG, I found, was the perfect blend of all that encompassed my creative side along with my love for computers, and animation is what enabled me to put life into those thoughts and ideas

I am currently living in Canada, working at SOHO VFX on a live action feature film. I am originally from India and moved to Canada in September 005 for Digital Character Animation Program at Sheridan College. Before coming here, I was working at Moving Picture Company India Ltd, New Delhi as a CG Artist. I was multi-tasking there on ‘Jungle Tales’, the first animated series from India, broadcast on Cartoon Network, Asia.

Q. You recently completed your Animation Program from Sheridan College, so what’s the reason of choosing Sheridan over others and how do you rate the overall teaching atmosphere?

I chose Sheridan mainly because of two reasons. Firstly, Sheridan is one of the most reputed institutes across the globe. Secondly, my very close friend who did the same course in 005 spoke highly of its curriculum and the instructors. And now that I’ve graduated, I realize this was one of the wisest decisions I ever took in my life.
