The World Has Changed

After 3 months of training in Tokyo, I'm finally back home in Singapore. It has been a great time there with lots of memorable experiences. Now it's back to tons of work getting ready to transfer what I've learnt to others who might be interested.

In addition to PS3 game development, I'm brushing up my visual effects know-how too. It's a different world for both game developers and visual effects artists. Technology has made life both easier and more difficult. While we can now achieve more, better and with more ease, the challenge is that modern audiences expect more and better too.

Games are virtual interactive worlds, while VFX are typically non-interactive. Creators for both types of entertainment has to constantly one-up themselves to keep things fresh and enthralling for the viewers. One you learn how to do something, it's already obsolete unless you can improve upon it to be used in the next feature project.

Stressful? You bet. But when a large group of creative people comes together to craft a moving piece of work, the results are worth the effort.

Here's to future postings of worthy of sharing.
