My dream job is to become a great compositor! ...and be credited in a Spiderverse movie... :D

I love film and cannot watch a movie the same ever again after diving into the world of animation and VFX. I'm always watching and pointing out the composition or how an effect might've been created, like seeing any ocean shot; I instantly think - Flip Sim! I want the opportunity to dive even deeper into the art of post-production.
