Victor Dolabaille topped his class as the highest achieving graduate of the Diploma in Digital Media Studies - Animation programme for UTT's 2011 graduating cohort. When asked about his achievement, Victor is modest and unassuming, seemingly un-phased by such a feat. This impressive composure resonates with him as he looks ahead to achieving his career-goals.
His love for animation was fuelled by long hours watching cartoons and other animations as a child and as a young adult. This interest was not merely for the entertainment value since his keen eye for art was at work. Having completed his secondary education, Victor sought to fulfi ll his life's passion since he wanted to see, "illustrations come to life" and express himself through his penchant for drawing.
Referred to as a "3D and gaming design whiz" by his former UTT instructor, Camille Selvon- Abrahams, Victor entered the Council for Competitiveness and Innovation (CCI) Idea 2 Innovation Competition (i2i) in 2011. This competition was held under the auspices of the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Victor copped an individual prize for his entry, SEA Math Master; a fully interactive computer video game that will allow students to learn math at their own pace. When asked about his motivation to create such a tool for learning, Victor stated: "I created the SEA Math Master for students who cannot afford the extra lessons which are sometimes needed for success at SEA". He plans to market his software to the public and credits UTT for his training and exposure to animation and entrepreneurship.
