Cameron's Story

My passion is producing visual and musical arts.

My interest in visual arts started when I was six. My grandfather is a painter, so I quickly grew to love looking at the vast expressions of color and shapes. From painting I went to sketching, which I was much better at but felt limited by the color options available to me. To bypass this, I bought a drawing tablet for my laptop, which allowed me to fill my sketches with color and apply shading much more easily.

At iD Tech Camp, I will attend the Photoshop class. I hope to improve my understanding of photoshop in order to use it to the fullest. I can then use this improved ability to start making album covers and visuals for my group of EDM musicians.

A Note from Mr. Saunders, Cameron's

"I think Cameron would be a good candidate for iD Tech Camp because of his graphic and artistic talents as well as his skills and interests related to computer programing and web development. I think that having a way for him to be able to productively focus on his interests in these core areas would give him a boost of confidence and validation. It will also allow him to be challenged to be better at those crafts."

Expectations and Hopes for This Summer

Thank you to those who have donated to help fund me, I'm looking forward to going to iD Tech Camp very much. I am very glad that I could have such an amazing opportunity to go to such a wonderful looking camp.

I am excited to be taking a course at iD tech camps for learning how to make an FPS game using unreal engine 4. I looked into the engine, even downloading it myself, and I am hoping for a wonderful learning experience on using it at the camp. I personally love first person shooter games. I'm currently engrossed in Valve's "Counter Strike: Global Offensive", and Ubisoft's "Borderlands / Borderlands 2." I wish to make a game crossing the weapon style of Borderlands and all the random features they possess with the teamwork based game mechanics and high skill ceiling of Counter Strike.

My hope for the camp itself is for a good community. Though I'm not the most social of people at times, I love it when groups of people help each other with their faults. I expect the engine to be hard to grasp at first, and I hope that someone else who understands it will help me understand it too. Once I understand it, I can in turn offer assistance to another. By helping someone else I would then have a better understanding of the concepts we will be learning. That's a win-win! Also it would cause the camp to feel much more like a community or like a 'family' of sort.
