Careers outside of Animation/ Games/ VFX
Hey there. I was hoping that someone one out here could give me (and the hundreds of people in my position) some guidance in regards to careers outside of the industry. I graduated last year with a degree in Animation Production, since then Ive been trying to find work. My plan was to get a running position, find my feet,… -
Re: Careers outside of Animation/ Games/ VFX
first thing first - post a link to your reel and get some crits and feedback on how to improve. i'm afraid the stark truth of it is that if you're not being hired then you probably need to work on your skills more and getting good feedback is the first (and most important) step. secondly are you just aiming for animation… -
Re: Careers outside of Animation/ Games/ VFX
Hey Tharle, thanks so much for getting back to me :) ! Good point, my reel is on my website (http://www.peterevemy.com/) along with other examples of my work. Most of my work is geared towards 3d visualisation, mainly environment. However as I'm pretty new too 3D (came from a traditional animation course) I've only got a… -
Re: Careers outside of Animation/ Games/ VFX
I'd say do some soulsearching and try to decide which area of art you enjoy the most? Is it realistic visualization or maybe it is Disney-like cartoony animation? Believe me, I know that it is not a trivial thing to do, but it needs to be done. Once you know what area you want to improve: start working on it. Do personal… -
Re: Careers outside of Animation/ Games/ VFX
yeah i've checked out your reel and it's got some nice things on it but it's really not a games art reel. there's so much more to making things work in game (hi to low poly baking, keeping vertex counts optimised, realtime shaders vs offline rendering etc.) and you basically dont show anything like that. you say you have… -
Re: Careers outside of Animation/ Games/ VFX
Before you read, please, don't get me wrong, I don't want to say anything negative and merely want to help. And it is also my personal opinion and you don't have to agree with it. I am afraid you aren't getting a job because your portfolio is not good enough yet. I mean, you are off a good start, but you are just at the… -
Re: Careers outside of Animation/ Games/ VFX
Thanks :) ! I sent them a link to my website along with the application so I'm assuming they saw it? They actually asked for me to bring my reel along with any works in progress I have, which throw me a bit as the other running interviews I'd had they never mentioned my reel. I'm currently re-rendering the bathroom piece,… -

I can't really comment on your work, but good luck with the interview. -
Re: Careers outside of Animation/ Games/ VFX
hey, grats on the interview - for this one i'd say just leave things as is, or add things that make it better. even if it's not the right sort of stuff for this company they've presumably seen your reel already to offer you the interview, no? there's nothing in your reel that's bad, it's just a little schizophrenic so i'd… -
Re: Careers outside of Animation/ Games/ VFX
that's not a good idea. studios will not take kindly to you showing up at their office unannounced and dropping off a resume. its not like a retail job where you just walk in off the street and apply. 9 times out of 10 the hires are going to come from a friend or acquaintance of someone at the studio. I would say instead…
