District 9 Interview #3 of 6: Creature Supervisor - Vancouver Film School (VFS)

[JuicyDBASE]

Ever since I have been playing with after effects the past year and a half, I have become intensely interested in vfx. I think I really want to get into visual effects but for the last few years I have been pursuing a degree in graphic/web design. Would it be crazy to switch not having any knowledge or experience in video, 3d, or vfx?

god i love these interviews so inspiring.. i think this one just made my day!

just got to go work hard enough now, to be able to get into vfs one day =)

[cresshead]

excellent stuff!

[KebleTar]

Nice. How long did the whole post production take?

[DarkwingFlash]

the more i see from this school, the more I know it is perfect for me! I thought District 9 was finally a new, fresh Science Fiction that didn't rely on action for its draw, and it's cool to hear that Blomkamp is signed up for a sequel

[Hewstad]

great interview!

[poeggy199]

I just saw this movie for the second time

[blah97840]

you freakin worked on reboot?!?!?! dude that was like my favorite show when i was a kid. im taking 3d animation at my art college now, hopefully one day i can transfer to vfs

[VancouverFilmSchool]

Reboot played a big part in VFS history! Mainframe drew heavily on our grads for many years to staff that show - it was how many alumni from the early years of our 3D program got their start. Pretty cool.

Hope you manage to make your way here someday!
