How did you get your first work opportunity?

I like to share this video from Industrial Light & Magic with my Alpha Chromatica students because it provides an authentic story for how one might discover their passion for creating visual effects, specifically: Compositing.

I also had the pleasure to work with April, so I get to brag and say: “I know her!” Now she is a Senior Compositor with over 17 awesome credits. Thank you to April for sharing her experience and to ILM for creating this unique series. It’s heartwarming and fascinating to hear each person’s story, and I wish we had more videos like these to get to know every artist around the world behind the pixels.

PS: I also worked with Adeline Qin at both ILM and DNEG, and her video is excellent too for aspiring lighting artists and TD’s!
