interesting.
i work in animation, video, tv and that kind of thing, here in the
uk.
i'd be interested to know where you guys go for work etc after your
education, and if you guys can specify a bit more of what your
courses involve.
a company or two i know of may well be investing in sg as the
market for animation / dv work there was previously unheard of, and
forgive me, sg was always regarded as a creative black spot [ie.
dead, to be disregarded, ignored] when compared to korea, hk,
japan, etc. but information like this is encouraging and might end
up being a pull for work as people start to hear of talent in
sg.
so please, some more information would be useful.
for example i work with guys who can animate, draw, edit - pretty
much know all aspects of post, as well as production, be it
traditional, 2d, 3d, traditional 3d, etc.
do you guys get to know the basics of animation?
basics of both traditional and computer generated 3d?
traditional and computer generated 2d?
basic composition, drawing skills, basic editing, sound break
downs, dope sheets, etc?
do you guys get to experience fire? flame? combustion? *edit? avid?
fcp? after effects? lightwave, maya, max, softimage, houdini?
anything like these? any of the old black boxes or even the new
ones?
i throw them a problem they can deal with it.
are you taught to be technical directors? character animators?
environment or secondary animators?
ability to put computers together is pretty useless as anyone and
everyone knows that, and its a piece of piss.
can i get to view your guys work - showreels? do you get advice on
that kind of stuff?
when do you guys have your shows? i'll pop over and have a look, or
maybe my associates will.
does anyone know of any studios in sg that deal with post
production/production work, whether or not it deals with animation
in sg?
i had a meeting with such a studio a few years back when i was
scouting in sg, and they said there was nothing in sg and they were
sourcing talent out from india and places like that. certainly
nothing of any use was local.
this could be the start of an interesting era for sg, if you guys -
perhaps the first creative generation - have the right skills in
the right areas.
watches thread with interest...
