Animator

Andrea Ow

Internship to Career

Q: 

You were previously an intern with Bandai Namco Studios Singapore and now a full time employee, how do you feel about it?

A: 

Miraculously blessed hahaha! My internship made me want to be an animator here. So yes, undoubtedly happy and humbled living my dream :)

Q: 

Your typical day as an “animator” 

A: 

Breakfast and coffee! Then, the day begins. I'll ready my to-do lists, check for updates, new tasks, and straight to Maya, I go! My role is to move and rotate things around in the most appealing and creative way possible (and according to brief), with my best abilities. There's also lots of research to do, finding and combining ideas to create good and fresh ones. Sometimes it requires me to try those motions myself. Might look odd, yes, but that’s all part of the fun hah!

Then I'll wind down in the evenings with hobbies, rest, or hanging out with friends and family. I really appreciate the good work-life balance here, I can set aside time to enjoy myself and recharge :)

Q: 

Your favorite games?

A: 

I haven't played many (working on that!), but I love co-op games like It Takes Two (so pretty!) and I've also come to really enjoy others like Ori, and of course I love Splatoon 3 haha! Do Sudoku and Wordle count too? Those are great XD

Q: 

One thing you like about BNSS.

A: 

The people! They define the culture and environment of the place, and it's a real privilege to be learning from them. Really friendly, professional, skilled, and passionate about their craft-it makes projects fun and inspiring. The team is also very helpful, giving support and availing solutions when anyone needs it.

Also, contrary to popular belief, we do exercise! #ActiveLifestyle #ActiveArtists time to time we're out and about playing some pickleball, ping pong, and climbing together. Fun stuff! :)

Can I also add-we get very yummy snacks delivered to us as we work from home, super love that.

Q: 

Any advice for your juniors or people wanting to get into the Game industry?

A: 

Mm.. keep on learning, and stay inspired! :)
