Breaking into the wildly creative and fiery 3D/Effects industry is a tough proposition.

  • Find out where to go to meet the right people and tap into networking opportunities
  • Acquire the know-how to ace the job interview
  • Produce an exceptional and applicable demo reel that will help you land the job
  • Emulate the career paths of successful artists
