The journey of a VFX artist is a passion-fueled adventure, where every frame tells a captivating story 😋 From the initial sketch to the final render, each project presents a new challenge, pushing the boundaries of imagination through the fascinating blend of art and technology As you see, I'm a fan of Hayao Miyazaki, a renowned filmmaker. He once said, "The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos." This quote inspires me to recognize that every detail matters ☝ Working collaboratively with talented teams, I've learned the significance of teamwork, where we share ideas, solve problems, and celebrate successes together. The journey of a VFX artist is about continuous learning, innovation, and transforming the impossible into the possible 🌈 What obstacles have you faced in your VFX career? 🤗 Share your experiences to inspire others 👇 #vfx #career #inspiration

VFX Artists! I have a big ask. I need your help! 🙏 I need a moment of your time in order for us to continue to shape the future of ActionVFX through a research study that I'm conducting! Ever since the beginning back in 2016, we have always put surveying VFX Artists at the forefront of anything we've built. (Putting the end-user at the start of the process. Weird, right? 😜) And today is no different! I know that this is a season where unfortunately a lot of VFX Artists have a bit more time on their hands due to slowed production. And while this survey doesn't explicitly focus on the current economical status, having as many submissions to this as possible greatly influences the impact we're able to have on your specific career long-term. Who is this survey for? 👇 Visual Effects professionals that have used ActionVFX at some point in their career. Whether as a VFX Producer, VFX Coordinator, etc! It's estimated to take about 6 minutes to complete. But I've made it as streamlined and painless as possible. 😄 After completion, it would mean the absolute world if you would share this with your industry colleagues. This research period will only run for a short time, so we're trying to gather as much information as we can. We have some huge plans for the end of 2023 into 2024. And I can't wait to show them to you! 🔥 🚀 Link to Research Survey: https://lnkd.in/gnubQWsm #VFX #visualeffects #postproduction #2d #3d #animation #compositor #vfxsupervisor #vfxartist  #vfxcoordinator

The last post got me thinking - all supervisors and producers in VFX come from various backgrounds. I myself started as a compositor and (between us) am terrible at animation. It doesn't necessarily mean that I need to rush to buy a new course (God knows I have too many unfinished ones), but if I were to work on a heavy animation project, it would be a great idea to have a strong Animation Supervisor to rely on. But there are (in theory) should be areas that VFX Supervisor must know well. Like... probably for all your projects you going to need compositing. And planning. With some budgeting. You also need to ingest material in the right color space and format (yes, that annoying ACES thing). And while in big companies there are dedicated people who cover all that, I believe a VFX Supervisor must, if not be able to do it themselves, at least understand what they are talking about, why they are making decisions towards one solution or another, and so on. Not every company will ask you to bid on projects, but it is a great skill to have. Some of us (me included) are lucky to have amazing producers on our side and can distance ourselves from the boring reality of numbers. But what if your producer is sick or leaves you for someone who can understand resources and planning? We kind of learn all this while navigating our careers, and I bet we have different techniques, strengths, and weak areas. Being a Sup is quite a big responsibility - people come to you with questions all day long, and you need to know the answers or at least pretend that you do and trust your gut (with creative stuff, not ACES, please!). Wouldn't it be great to have a resource, page, masterclass (don't say course) or "bible" with all the base-level information that can help cover areas like I mentioned? Yeah, I know about VES book and I read it, and it is amazing, (thank you VES people for doing that!), but oh my god, the weight of this book makes it not user-friendly. Tips and tricks with small lines of code, automatic spreadsheets, examples of successful implementation of AI tools and so on? I would pay to have access to resource like this! (but of course it should be free). #vfx #cgi #vfxsupervisor #insouleffects #lovevfx
