My dream job and career goal is to eventually work at Weta on a big movie so I can brag to my future kids " yeah I worked on this movie ".

My first year in the digital design course at AUT I realised I wanted to become a VFX artist as soon as I started my first project. The project was a crappy 30 second haunted house move trailer but I enjoyed everything about it. Going out at night to an abandoned house with my friends to film it, mashing buttons on adobe premiere to get the scenes ready it was all so fun. I found myself watching corridor crew talking about how different shots in movies were done and it really intrigued me.
