Oliver Pierre Hays
Digital Animation
Born in 2003, Oliver Hays is a 3D artist who specializes in Hard surface 3D modeling and character animation. He has been learning theses skills at CU Denver since the fall of 2021. He has been working on his senior short film and is currently in full production on it, and is nearing the finish line. He has been able to make a lot of 3D assets for the film as well as some character animation. The film has been in production since the spring of 2024, and has been a learning experience for Oliver. The chance to work on a production like this has taught him so much about how production works and how to be a good team member. He has learned how to compromise and how to take criticism and give criticism in a production environment. He has also learned how to work in a production pipeline, and how to be a generalist and work on many different tasks. While working on the short film, he found that he prefers and excels in Hard surface 3D modeling, and has been able to be one of the lead modelers on the film.
