About the panel "Breaking Boundaries in VFX Education: Expanding Horizons through Online Learning"
This exclusive panel will feature Jason and his fellow industry panelists, Jahirul Amin, Pedro Andrade, and Jasmine Katatikarn. They will discuss the benefits of continued online education for everyone—whether they are just starting out or an expert in their field—and its importance in the fast-paced and ever-evolving entertainment industry.
Here are some of Jason's top tips for students on how to make the most of the time learning online with their industry mentor:
- Ask questions.
- Submit WIPs (work in progress) often rather than waiting until your work looks polished before asking for feedback. Your mentor is here to help you! You may find that there’s a different/faster/easier way to accomplish what you’re working on and save some time.
- Ask for help when you're stuck, especially if you've already consulted your lessons multiple times and searched Google.
- Ask even more questions.
- Allocate an adequate amount of time to complete your work. It will take longer than you think it will. You will also get notes to improve your shots from your mentor, so try to submit your work with enough time to receive feedback and still have time to hit the notes before the next lesson.
For more great insights like these, head to the FuseFX website to read a recent interview with Jason about his thoughts on the value of continued learning.
