Hello, everyone, my name is Henry Mbata Also Known As "The Jedi".
I wish to thank you first and foremost for visiting
my website. I believe some of the works and my products
on this site will inspire you to achieve your goals in your own works, as I aim to make my contribution to the computer graphics and film industry.
I am a 24 year old 3D modeler, animator, and visual effects artist currently based in the city of Pretoria, South Africa.
I am originally from The Congo...Also known as The Beating Heart of our Mother Continent.
My skills in arts began when I was 6 years old, and
one remembers the
Way in which I was able to draw, in my teen years,
very realistic pictures of people who asked me to
draw them since they heard of
my talent.
The road from apprentice to what I prefer to call
“Jedi” mastery in the world of computer animation
was not an easy one for me, as the
very access to a personal computer in the first place was not possible.
Determination, vision, hard work, skills to learn
very quickly and above all belief in oneself are the ingredients that led me to
accomplish my visions.
I can never emphasize enough the incredible
creativity that sparked my imagination as I was
priviledged to learn from one of
the very best people in 3D animation, Mr Hannes Retief and the continued support
from my good friend Pastor Lupa Kalolokesya and his family, Mr Tony Koyabe
and his entire family, Ziana Rafuza,sister Peni Lolwane, Sindy Lolwane, and above all, the
warmth
of love from my family, especially from my inspirational sisters, Sarah Mbata and Bebe Padi Mbata.
These are the people God himself has blessed me with and who have believed in me at the most
critical times in my life when my very own future seemed distant and unforseable.
I always advise anyone to read the book entitled "How To win Friends and Influence People" by
Dale Carnegie.....It will teach you a timeless phylosophy to become the person who can achieve
anything by maintaining healthy relationships with other people
I encourage anyone who has an unbreakable belief in
themselves and the ability to learn quickly to
indulge in achieving whatever it
is they deem very important to them.
"The Jedi" is the name people also know me by, a name
taken from my favorite film of all time: George Lucas’ Star Wars'. I like to
associate myself with Jedi Knights for they have intuitive abilities to
accomplish good over evil and circumvent challenges in ALL areas of life.
For those who could be wondering what computer I am
using to create stunning 3D in less time, here
are my computer's
features:
I run an Intel Core2 Quad 2.44 Ghz
CPU
NVidia GeForce 8600GTS Graphics Card
250Gig SATAII Hard Drive plus 1 Terabyte Seagate External Hard Drive
2 Gig RAM
Well, now you know where I record all my tutorials: "Hello, My name is Henry Mbata and Welcome to www.Henrythejedi.com".....the rest, of course, as they say, is History
The best advice I can give anyone, is to "Believe".It makes me sad when I hear people say "One day I want to achive the following.....", trust me, that "One day" is in fact 'TODAY'.
Once more, Thank you for your visit and "BELIEVE" today
