Morteza
Yousefi was born in Tehran, Iran in 1973. When he was in secondary
school, his older brother brought home a ZX-Spectrum 48k that made
simple pictures from lines. He took those simple lines and turned them
into 3D images by combining lines and adding shading, etc -- and
Morteza fell in love with the technology.
Later,
Morteza discovered "autodesk 3d-studio" and studied day and night to
learn the software.He studied hardware engineering at the University,
but his love has always been CG-Images and Animation. He and a couple
of friends entered their first animation in some of the local film
festivals. That opened up an invitation for their team (FAM Art Groups)
to perform some of the 2d-animations in "Saba Co" which is one of the
companies that produces animations for Iranian TV.
After
working with FAM Art Groups for about a year, Morteza opened his own
studio and has been producing short-animations and tv-commercials for
the past 7 years.
