Never Too Young To Start...

Fancy a career in VFX? How about starting while still in Secondary School? Now that young children are already using computers in kindergarten and learning to create 2D animation in Primary School, why not?

As the Fates would have it, I was asked to give a couple of talks regarding our school's new Visual Effects course. The first one, held just this morning, was at Compassvale Secondary School to a group of about 20 Sec 4E and Sec 5N younglings as part of their career awareness education.

I did my usual song and dance, show and tell routine, and it went down fairly well. Some of the kids were actually genuinely interested in this line of work, and asked some relevant questions. Hopefully I opened some eyes to the fascinating world of VFX and planted some seedlings that might bloom into a local VFX talent some day.

I'm certainly glad that the first talk went well without a hitch, considering I'm also supposed to be taking both a Python Scripting/Character Rigging course as well as a crash course in Japanese Language at the same time as the talk! Oh, the miracles our management expect of out of us do makes me shudder sometimes. The stress to deliver, or at least no make a mess of things...

Next stop, ITE graduates at Bishan Library this coming Saturday. Weekend burnt, anyone?
