If you see the January 2009 issue of 3D World on your local newsstand, take a closer look – you’ll see a fantastic two-page spread profiling the VFS reel of 3D Animation & Visual Effects and Foundation Visual Art & Design grad Mike Trent.

The article has Mike going in-depth into the process, challenges, and rewards involved in making No Quarter.

“I feel very honored and actually quite surprised that the writers of such a renowned magazine wanted to feature my short,” Mike tells us. “People tell me I’m way too modest about my work, but I put a lot of time and effort into No Quarter, so I’m glad it’s still getting attention.”

What’s Mike up to now? Well, he’s freelancing, and he also recently wrapped up an internship at Chicago’s Vitamin Pictures. Check out his portfolio site here.
