Hey guys, I’m making this post to share my experience and hopefully give some hope to everyone in this rough industry.

I graduated with a bachelors degree in VFX back in 2024, and I did manage to get a gig doing some compositing and generalist 3D work at a very small studio. However most of us got laid off from that job, and I’ve been job searching for almost a year no with little luck up until now.

I’ve been passionate about 3D and VFX since I was 14, and over the years I’ve poured countless hours into the craft, refining my portfolio and knowledge. And now finally, I made it through the hiring process and will be apart of Weta, and I couldn’t be more excited.

All of this to say, although sometimes it feels hopeless (I’ve considered giving up many times) there are still opportunities out there if you give it your all.
