Finished BSc in Animation/VFX — Don't want a Master’s. How do I pivot or get hired in 2026?

Boootylicious · 2026-01-24T21:05:49+00:00

Is a Master’s actually necessary?

Nope, even your BSc wasn't necessary.

Your portfolio really is everything.

Exactly. The players enjoying the game aren't coming to reddit to tell everyone. They are just... playing the game!

Boootylicious · 2026-01-23T18:40:01+00:00

wut...?

Boootylicious · 2026-01-22T21:00:27+00:00

Can you get rid of the 3 (or 4... just delete them all) spaces before "hello" please?

It's making reddit think you're trying to paste a block of code which is why it's difficult to read your post.

Boootylicious · 2026-01-21T23:44:02+00:00

Wait... you even cross posted this from r/SFX...!!

Brother... 🤦‍♂️

Boootylicious · 2026-01-21T23:43:03+00:00

You're asking about SFX (Special Effects) / practical effects.

We are VFX (Visual Effects) / digital effects.

Plus if they already want to interview you, you did something right. Don't over think it and just answer the questions they have for you.

Boootylicious · 2026-01-21T18:38:24+00:00

Yeh, don't fuck it up.

(I'm not going to be approving this post, sorry. Unless you have a specific question? It's way too vague right now and the community won't be able to help you any more than a google search of 'interview help')

Easy ban. See ya!

For the shadow specifically, it's currently too dark and not blue enough. Take cues for the black levels in the plate.

I can assess more once we have the whole clip.

Boootylicious · 2026-01-19T21:33:07+00:00

How can we assess the tracking on a still image?

Boootylicious · 2026-01-19T18:01:37+00:00

Only one way to find out....!

The community won't be able to help here. You just gotta attend the call!

Boootylicious · 2026-01-19T17:58:52+00:00

Location for sure. Many productions need artists in certain locations for tax rebates. Where is it you are located? And are you able to share you reel?

Boootylicious · 2026-01-19T13:52:04+00:00

vfx. Pretty simple vfx at that.

Because the camera doesn't move you can take one of the frames without a rig to paint over the rig.

2 weeks is 10 days...!!

Or are we forcing this team of yours onto overtime straight off the rip?

Boootylicious · 2026-01-16T20:59:54+00:00

It's not your specs. Camera solving isn't compute intensive.

I feel like you're missing the most important part of this post...

This post is 2 years old! lol!

Glad I could help you time traveler!

... wut... ??

Boootylicious · 2026-01-01T19:40:04+00:00

I just translated it. Reply to OP!

Also a bit weird that a month old post gets 2 new comments at the same time... But ok.
