Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I wanted to make a mechanical jellyfish with my graduation work and portfolio last year, but I couldn't make a composite image due to the time limit. When I enter the institute early this year, I think about what is suitable for the application part when I get a job and what can I make well in reality. I found a role model, Demorill, and decided to create a reptile character to apply for the modeling and texturing parts.
When I was sophomore at Columbia College Chicago, I was working on team project that my professor gave and I took color correction part in my team. I felt excited for making better mood just correcting color of our scenes. Then, I digged up this industry to find sort of creative jobs and saw some amazing reels as well. It comes huge inspiration to me that making entire environment, and creatures from nothing.
When I was younger than now, I saw a VFXmovie about the Avengers, Transformer, Terminator etc. and every time I watch such a fantastic movie, I wanted to make the vfx movie and i loved them. so I looked up what I had to do to make those movies and I knew I had to learn vfx to make such a movie so i realised i wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry and I decided to learn cgi after long suffering and distress
For the past seven years, I worked at the film festival. As a programming manager, I introduced and recommended new films to Korean audiences. I had to watch dozens of entries and their ending credits every day. One day, I wondered 'If my life was a movie, I would like to see my name in the ending credits, whether it is a short or a feature film'. I am really looking forward to seeing my name in the ending credits after a movie.
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.
