The post grad school I went to had the real contacts. Professors came from real work places in Toronto, production houses, vfx houses, film studios and stuff like that, there's a lot of contacts going on. The job I have now, I got via a friend who I interned with at an Internship which I had to do for school. I'm not working on anything epic, the company I work at is mostly contracted out to do VFX on various shows you see from National Geographic or Discovery Channel. However there's another about another dozen VFX houses in the Toronto area which work on big AAA productions like major motion pictures or HBO series and the like. Even my company had a hand in the Japanese all CGI Starship Troopers movie. So now that I'm 'In' getting more experience doing work, it's really just about expanding that resume and move on to bigger and bigger productions.M'o'l wrote:Yeah, pre-production kinda went over my head. Out of all of that i only got try some avid programs, and nuke- pretty interesting alternative for ae.
I'm now mostly curious about your road to hire- school obviously helped, but contacts, or what decided? School? Sending your cv to disney ?:dino:
Think i would give a editing school a shot if decent ones weren't so far away, now i feel too old
