Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
After watching Iron Man in high school, I interested in VFX . It was fascinating for me to believe that cartoon characters exist somewhere in the real world through computer graphics. While learning VFX, when I created what I imagined using a 3D program,I felt proud that I couldn't express in words and this experience gave me confidence in my job as a VFX designer.
After graduating from an university, I thought about what I really wanted to do and liked. I wanted to make films with my own hands, which I loved since when I was a kid (I am a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit series). Among of them, I felt the biggest attraction to VFX that makes imagination to a reality, so I decided to study. You can see my work in more detail. https://www.artstation.com/ramg_story https://www.instagram.com/ramg_story/
I accidently jumped into CG while watching Marvel movies. The colorful Effects and the first-ever creativity wer unique. It completely captivated me visually, and I fell in love. So I studied at the Academy right away and even made a portfolio of scenes from a Marvel movie, even made reels for a longlong time :) And I wanna work in the CG industry as soon as possible.
Rather than becoming a painter after graduating from college, I thought about my career path as to what other jobs I could do while saving my aptitude. At that time, I remembered that I was fascinated by the lively CG of the movie Avatar. I learned that CG requires as much creativity and delicacy as painting, and I became more interested in the job. I chose this job because I thought it was very attractive the more I recognized CG.
As a kid, I was absolutely captivated by the grandeur of Korean historical dramas, especially those epic war scenes that seemed to leap out of the screen. They were my gateway into the mesmerizing world of creative media. It wasn't until later, as I immersed myself in countless movies and shows, that I stumbled upon the magic of Visual Effects (VFX). It was like discovering a hidden treasure.
I have enjoyed watching various videos since I was young. I was interested in various videos such as music videos, movies, dramas, and fashion films, and among them, I was attracted to the intensity of videos using special effects. Also, I started to pay attention to CG while watching movies that create characters or objects that are not real and embody them as real. I decided to do this because I felt that it would be so meaningful to be able to inspire others through my imagination.
My major was materials science & engineering. The main job was to design experiments, select the right materials, and then synthesize and combine them to make conductive electrode materials. In particular, I liked to express the entire experimental process in pictures, so I decided to learn 3D tools professionally. So I found out about VFX and all the SF movies I loved were based on VFX. So I really wanted to try this job.
When most of my friends liked the romance, I was alone fascinated with fantasy movies such as the Game of Thrones. Even when these TV programs were not aired in Korea, I still found ways by searching hard by myself and watched them without any translation. Then I wondered how the scenes with all kinds of magic, dragons were made, and so on, finding the breakdowns of various companies, I thought, ‘I would love to make such wonderful scenes’ and it became my goal.
