I know that there is a high demand for people that can create visual effects, I don't plan on going into the special effects business so the article tips don't really apply to me but its always good to have some sort of for sight into the business.
For starters you have to want to be in visual effects (stating the obvious but hay it was it there) witch means no half-assing(again stating the obvious). Second the first big break that most people get is not with Pixar or another big title animation company and the job you get won't be what you want, this is a climbing business after all. Lastly be prepared for a lot of grunt work, from the repetive like rotoscoping, or the extremely difficult like the match move artist, or the classic like the production assistant. Just remember that the VFX business is highly completive industry so always give it your all.
Like I said in the begging of the blog I don't believe I will be going into the special effects industry but it is nice to have advice about the industry before hand. Knowing what kind of jobs your going to have too get good at in order to succeed in the VFX industry.
My question is " hoe long do you have to do grunt work till you get to do the fun stuff?"
