I am Animated!Animated Collectables

What is the best way to get a grounding in the film industry?

My sister is 20 and entering the film industry with the intention to pass by her side fx, animation, 3D modeling, etc. She did a basic university course in mind, but feared there may be other ways to enter in the industry. I myself, being in the gaming industry facilitator to learn several ways to acquire knowledge grounded in the industry without having two courses of years? Does ideas, or I'm stupid.

(I'm in the U.S.) Your sister could go into business simply by meeting the right people who are willing to give an opportunity. If she is outgoing and knows how to network, meet people who know it is always useful. I do not know if this will work paid, but could be a kind of position that allows you to be learning the whole process. It may also be able to get in unpaid student or amateur productions through something like the list Craig. Now, the benefits to take courses is that we will learn some basic skills. In addition, schools have connections with internships. Some companies participants if they are not in school – that way they can get away without paying, saying simply that is an internship. Let there be an exchange of value, class credit for their work. (Have you ever considered whether the FX houses are hiring now? "With the economy, think about that too. It might be useful to take 1-2 years to go to school, but when done, there could be more jobs there. If they are hiring now, we would expect a lot of new employees, have many other skills as well.) Also, lately, it seems that many companies hiring interns expect really have a set of basic skills and – how to use the software, editing, photoshop, have sculpture, painting, framing the experience, which is the opposite of this course is! The idea is that the student actually learn something! In some countries (I'm in the U.S.) is actually against the law, but does not really apply. Anyway, you must find all possible nearby homes FX, and start calling or sending your resume. If she has no experience in the software, then you can also try to make these companies for advice on what software need to learn. Of course, changing rapidly, and some houses FX to create your own proprietary software. I guess his sister and has expertise in basic design, photography, sculpture? If you do not need to think about that too. In the United States with the bad economy, there could be a lot of competition for positions, including internships. People can have the same basic art and basic software, but also other skills such as production or finance itself. Companies see that as an advantage, knowing that person in the service could help a few times a month billing. Seriously.
