Can you describe the extent of any relevant work experience you might have?
Although I haven't worked at a professional studio directly, I have worked on external projects and continue to do so, which has increased my understanding of the VFX pipeline and the standards that must be met for a shot. Since I want to become a teacher and encourage future artists, I have volunteered at a secondary school (St Saviours and St Olaves, Church of England School) teaching art and editing and post-production.
How would you describe your contribution to your group project?
I worked as a producer and compositor on the project 'Mini Mail'. In my role as a producer, I planned presentations for ILM and made notes about what needed to be prioritised and improved. This project helped me learn a little bit about chroma keying, which was useful and interesting because it was my first time keying. During this project, I further developed my rotoscoping abilities. It seems to me that I can now rotoscope pixels perfectly.
What do you specialise in and what made you choose that specialism?
Roto and prep are my areas of expertise since I feel very at ease doing them. I've struggled a lot when working on projects that need roto and prep, therefore I've learnt how to use various script templates, gizmos, and nodes to solve a lot of problems.
What would your ideal first role in the industry be?
Junior Roto Paint artist
Which of your student projects are you most proud of, and why?
I am proud of my project 'Grainfort', which was completed during the second year, because I developed several comp skills, such as CG integration and colour grading, and it was my first time doing these. For a first-timer, I believe this project was completed to a great standard.
What’s a piece of media (film, game, animation) that changed the way you think about your discipline?
The movie Fantastic Mr Fox altered my perspective on visual effects because it demonstrates how well-done stop-motion animation can produce a distinct aesthetic appeal that digital effects tend to be difficult to match. Wes Anderson’s tactile approach highlights the power of physical textures, imperfections, and practical effects in storytelling. This film inspired me to create a film that combines stop motion and visual effects. I felt inspired to study this course after the short film I made, during my A Levels, that was inspired by Anderson.
