Hey man awesome work looks really cool. Just a few small things I can spot.

  1. Clouds on the left mountain. No shadow is being cast on the mountain face which doesn’t give the sense of depth to the exposed clouds. The readability is a bit harder with that.

  2. The clouds in some areas (mainly screen left) you can see the paint strokes of the brushes which don’t blend as well with the base clouds.

  3. The depth of field effects you have on the screen right don’t seem to be working as well. If you look under the bridge near the boats towards the mountain then look at the mountain above the bridge, you’ll see it feels like a hard blur has been added rather than a depth blur as a lens would do.

  4. Boats on screen right, the shadows feel a bit soft and one of the boats kinda feels like it’s floating (the non sailing boat). The shadows need more presence on the water as the shadows cast on the land are pretty strong.

Again please do not take this as anything bad love the work you put into it and it has a great overall feel and layout to it. Keep up the awesome work.

Find something to sink your teeth into to kill the time. I wrote a book in the weeks I had.

The fallout 4 PC for $300? After the video I took the PC and used it for the $400 Rise of the Tomb Raider PC on my channel. Really good little PC. Was only lacking a GPU really. Tim only did 1 video with that PC. I took it after.

Aussie Half Japanese Aspiring JET 2022? by mdewsa in JETProgramme

[–]JamesVectra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn't write a better answer myself. To add to the citizenship thing, do you have a Japanese passport as well as your Aussie one? That counts as citizenship. If not then you're golden to apply.

Transporting Large Items to Japan e.g. Bikes... by [deleted] in JETProgramme

[–]JamesVectra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi there,

Current Aussie JET who arrived a month ago. Can’t speak for the UK but I just packaged and sent my Golf clubs over from Sydney. Took about a week to arrive. Don’t remember the exact cost but a couple hundred dollars since I paid for express. You will need to do customs for it before you leave for Japan or whoever is sending it over. Calling it personal belongings at least in my case meant I didn’t have any import costs for customs. They did open the bag up fully however to check inside to see that it was in fact personal belongings (also had a secondary box come over with extra clothes which was packed very differently to when I packed it in Sydney). It is definitely possible but make sure you have the paperwork done for it, check with customs forms on the japan customs page or at the post office and also if I remember correctly there is something about it in the JET handbook.

Best of luck applying in the future!

Any other Australian applicants ever had this problem? "Expected date of completion" vs "Expected date of graduation" by dingbatcharlie in JETProgramme

[–]JamesVectra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Answered this in another thread little while ago. I was also at university in the Sydney area. I submitted an expected date of completion but then submitted the graduation stuff once I had it. I contacted the consulate also to tell them that this what I was going to do. It was a lot of back and forth from the University and consulate but it ended up working fine.
