Identifying Area of Practice

The areas of practice that I would like to go in to are film based industries that create amazing CGI and visual effects but also have a department for 3D animation. I've said this because I find visual effects so interesting and I love watching behind the scenes footage of films and tv series' just so I can see how the effects are made and what they use to make the effects. For Example I've watched all of the Game of Thrones BTS videos on YouTube because I find it fascinating seeing how they create landscapes and architecture out of nothing but just using green screens and 3D modelling softwares.

I've worked on a couple of my own videos using visual effects and I've found the experience very helpful to figure out how hard it actual is to create a realistic effect, however once you've started making the visual effect for the video you become very determined to finish it whilst making it look realistic. I will be show my videos with my visual effects in my blog but later on after I've talked about how I created the effect and what I looked at for inspiration.

I've looked at a few studios which also work in the same field that I want to work in like Blue Zoo which is a 3D/2D animation studio down in London, Nvisible which is a visual effects studio that does high end effects for top films, which is also down in London, and I've also looked at The Imaginarium Studios where they focus on capturing human actions and placing them in animated films and they do this by only using motion capture technology. This is a studio which was created by Andy Serkis who is the best motion capture performer in the industry and has won may awards for his performances in films such as when he played golem in lord of the rings and the main ape in rise of the planet of the apes.
