About 300 CG artists attended the seminar.After Jeff and Thomas presented FR 1.8, we heard a few words from Jang Jin-Ho.
Jin-Ho, a very talented modeler from Seoul, was looking for a job in CG and a chance to see the world. He started posting his work on one f our favorite CG sites, www.3dtotal.com . His art was receiving a lot of hits, but no offers were forthcoming. So Jin-Ho went to the next step, and created his own website, and sent off samples of his work out. A short while later, Jin-Ho's incredible work attracted the sharp eyes of the recruiters at Blur Studio, where Jin-Ho will be starting work in October of this year.
Jin-Ho had some advice for the audience here in Seoul that I think resonates internationally - and I am paraphrasing here - "Don't be afraid to speak up .. it's better to try to be heard than not speak at all."
The incredible work of Jin-Ho.Next up were Nicholas Hore and Damien Gray from Animal Logic from Sydney, Australia. Nicholas talked about the working environment & the potential job opportunities that will soon be available at AL, and encouraged the audience (and anyone reading this!) to check out the Animal Logic website at http://www.animallogic.com/ for current open positions. Nick also mentioned that artists should feel free to send their information in now, so when AL will be ramping up for their next animated feature in a few months they'll have a database of artists to work with.
Nick highlights that Animal Logic is very close to the famous Bondi Beach!
CG Supervisor Damien Gray was up next, and I have to say, gave one of the most illuminating presentations on a film that I have ever seen. I'll admit, I am biased, I LOVED Happy Feet, but hearing the production details were fascinating. Damien started off be explaining the mission of Director George Miller, who's mantra was " The story is not the plot.. the story is the audience's experience of the film."
More details later.. we are on hour number 6.. one more demonstration to go!!
