3DTi graduate Breyon Bradford uses skills
he learned online to build a 3D business whose clientel e
includes Intel, Audi and Volkswagen.
NEW YORK— Jackson, Mississippi is not often mentioned
among the country’s top media production centers, but if Oroma Media
has anything to say about it that may soon change. The Jackson-based company,
founded a scant two years ago by 3D Training Institute (3DTi) graduate
Breyon Bradford, provides video production, graphics design, post production,
website design and branding services, and has quickly amassed an impressive
local, regional and even national clientele by turning out work whose
quality rivals that of top tier shops in New York and Los Angeles.
Along with an unlikely location, the company has surprisingly
humble origins. Four years ago, Bradford was making a modest income using
Adobe After Effects to produce motion graphics for small projects for
his church. Wanting to advance his career, he decided to extend his skills
by learning 3D. “I found 3DTi (3dtraining.com) on the web and signed
up for an introductory course,” Bradford recalls, “and instantly
knew that it was something I wanted to do.”
Bradford said that the education he received through 3DTi
has been critical to his company’s success. He not only learned
how to use sophisticated 3D software, he got the career guidance and post
graduate support he needed to put his knowledge to practical, commercial
use.
“I’m not a guy who got his start working in a
huge studio in L.A.,” Bradford concludes. “I came to 3DTi
with an eagerness to learn. I worked hard and continued to grow and
the next thing I knew, I had a company.”

3DTi Alumni Work on Independent Greek Movie.
Talk about an out of this world experience! Three 3DTi
alumni were selected to work with the 3DMirage team on a special project
for an upcoming Greek feature film. The film’s director Spyros Vrettos
needed assistance with a seven-minute sequence and called on 3DMirage
for support on the task.
The team recruited three past 3DTi students for the project:
Joe Carvalko (Milford, CT), Rob Kerek (Rohnert Park, CA), and Andy Richard
(Ajax, ON, Canada). The 3DTi alums were faced with the challenge of a
tight budget and an even tighter deadline, but successfully completed
the project with glowing results. The film is slated for a December release,
and Vrettos is planning on including the finished product in several upcoming
film festivals.
“I was impressed with the level of knowledge
of [3DTi’s] students. In fact, I developed an interest
to study 3D animation at the school in the near future in order to solve
simple visual needs. I hope to support the idea of a more ambitious
collaboration between 3DMirage and myself with new film projects.”
- Spyros Vrettos (Film Director)
