Why I Want To Work There

I would like to work for invisible because they produce amazing VFXs and that is something I would like to do in the future. I feel like my skills in VFX are quite small but I'm learning new things every day and working on films has been one of my dream jobs from when I was a kid. I've always been interested in visual effects because it amazes my on what people can create with nothing but a computer and a couple of cameras. After watching a film I always try and watch the behind the scenes footage to see how the film was made and how everyone would work together to create great effects. So working for the people how are responsible for the VFX in such great films would be an amazing opportunity for me and it would help me gain more skills in softwares and also in communication to the co-workers there. I feel like this would be a suitable place for me to go because I know ho to use most of the softwares they use and I also know how to green screen and composite videos correctly.

Contacting Nvizible

So far I'v only contacted them through social media like Twitter and Linked In and I've also Followed some of the people who actually work in Nvizible on Twitter. However, I am planning of emailing them to ask if they do internships or placements in the summer holidays and I'll ask what they look for in an employe.
