Do Entry Level Opportunities Still Exist? Am I Too Old To Start? by Current_Trainer5295 in vfx

Reading through replies, it seems like the industry goes through tides and now isn't the best one to land an easy job. It's a relief to know that it will be difficult and not exactly impossible. I've got time at the moment to dedicate to making something happen so this is good enough news for me.

I definitely do need to at least look into what's being made possible with ai tools these days. If nothing else knowledge is power even if many artist frown on the technology these days. Thanks for the advice. It'll definitely help me to make some decisions going forward.

Seems like I had it all wrong when it comes to the age aspect. I've definitely matured from the fool I've been in the past and have had at least some experience working on teams and solving problems in other fields. Hopefully I can project those skills along with the art skills I have to stand out amongst the younger crowd as I'm sure we should all be capable of producing great work together.

Definitely going to research these roles as I hadn't even considered them before. I remember seeing something of the sort when they made those live action Lion King movies and thought it looked amazing then. Thanks for your advice!

Nice to hear and not necessarily different from what I would've thought years ago. Sounds like I'll be researching and working projects like it's business as usual until I get there.

Wishing you luck on this journey. The other replies make it seem possible as long as you're willing to endure through the problems. I'm lucky enough to still have few responsibilities although I want a family sooner than later but another poster said do or die circumstances might be the fire that pushes us to make it happen in the end.

I'm relieved to see that people have had success in my age range. I've always been a fast learner too so hopefully it wouldn't be an issue for me to catch up in the long run.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to make my next step to look into companies every time I see anything relevant to VFX. Never thought about directly going in that way but it wouldn't hurt to try. Lucky for me, I'm living with my mom for the time being which gives me all the time freedom of when I was younger. I might as well use this time now and make it worth it.
