5 years plan

-
Writing a 5-year plan is not an easy task for me. Personally, I still don't know what I want to do in my future and what I enjoy doing the most. I did a small research about future plans and how to write them, and what seemed to be good advice for a start was to do a simple SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) so help me understand where I am now. Strengths - passionate about creating art - interested in various media and techniques across the field - flexibility - putting my own personality into my work Weaknesses - stressing out - time planning and deadlines - quick sketching - thinking I am not good enough until I am perfect Opportunities - being able to work on my personal projects after graduation - improving my skills - networking - freelance jobs Threats - my own "I am not good enough" mindset - working without deadlines - very competitive industry - stagnate or quitting creating things Then I needed to think abo...

DNEG interview

-
As a part of my research, I listened to an hour-long interview by Henning Sanden and Morten Jaeger, the founders of Flipped Normals, who interviewed Harriet Edge-Partington, the top recruiter from DNEG (a British motion picture visual effects and computer animation and stereo conversion company that has received four Academy Awards for its work on the films Inception, Interstellar, Ex Machina, and Blade Runner 2049 (Wikipedia, 2018). She said a lot of interesting things that can help me to get into the industry or learn how the industry works, and I summarised the most important for me: ±   She says that CV says a lot about you but showreel is the most important. ±   Covering letter is very important for people with no previous professional experience (that means us, graduates). All graduates apparently have similar showreels full of uni projects and no industry experience, but in the covering letter, they can explain why they want to work for DNEG specifically, ho...

Harsh Truths About Working in the 3D Industry

-
As one of the ways of finding out how it works in the industry I listened to Henning Sanden and Morten Jaeger, the founders of Flipped Normals and CG artists with long and successful professional experience, talking about things about the industry many people don't know. One of the first things they were talking about is getting feedback because they can see a lot of overly confident beginner artists who get 200 likes on social media and think it makes them good, not realising that likes do not give them any real feedback. "...there are even professionals who do not have the heart to tell you that you are not good enough yet and they will advise you to apply for jobs in the big studios."  (FlippedNormals, 2018) "You need a person who you can trust for professional level feedback and it should be someone who is currently in the industry because they know current industry requirements."  (FlippedNormals, 2018) They advise finding someone from the indu...
