‘Life Vision' Example:

Animatronics is the perfect blend of art and technology and I am passionate about both. Particularly, I love animatronics!  It has been a passion of mine for years.  Ever since, the movie ET was released, I have been obsessed with the visual effects behind it.   ET was one of the first movies to release a ‘making of’ documentary and after I watched it I was hooked.  I want to learn everything I can about the animatronics industry and make an animatronic creature.
