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.
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.
It's around 3 years ago. At that time, I just have a goal 'I want to work the animation company'. Than I got a chance to go to The science behind Pixar which showed how animation media making way in Vancouver. After this experience, I realized this is what i want to do and I really want to work as VFX.
