    “saharial: kpoprealitycheck: A short post contrasting two different perspectives (key word: REALITY), from an idols point of view and a fans point of view. Enjoy! Give my inbox some love - ask and submit! OMG THIS TOOK ME AGES TO SCREENSHOT AND FIND EXAMPLES, okay rage over lol XD I love behind the scenes parts of any show. I think its good to show how many people are involved in making idols look good. I actually watch the behind the scenes parts of concerts before I watch the concert on DVD. Yes! me too :) Haha but i do the reverse i watch the final product then the behind the scenes. It’s so interesting as well learning how they produced, created and constructed everything aswell XD Aw awesome you work how exciting, you’re out in the real world :) What is it that you do? (If you don’t mind me asking). As for me i’m still a student, obviously it’s biased but i’d like to think that i have been capable of balancing my studies and hobbies :)”

    Kpop Reality Check: 25. What your Kpop idol sees VS What you see

    Of course you can ask - I work in film post production - digital VFX. Rotoscoping and digital clean up which is removing wires, markers, rigging and set - anything that shouldn’t be there. ^__^

    OH MY GOSH THAT SOUNDS TOTALLY AWESOME! :D You should show me your work sometime ^_^ Oh my gosh that would take ages i reckon, do you enjoy your job? It sounds so cool :D What did you have to study before you landed your career? lol sorry about all the questions ^_^

    haha that’s ok. I do love my job and yes it can be very cool. Just like any job though there are bad days, bad projects and horrible workmates, but i’m lucky where I am now, so yes! lots of love and coolness. As for showing you… you’ve probably already seen some if you watched Harry Potter 4 & 8, Clash of the Titans, Robin Hood, Charlie and the chocolate factory….  i just finished work on the next sherlock holmes that comes out at x-mas and am now on a 3D movie which looks really good ;) [i’ll post the trailer when its out in November] keke

    As for training - i did a multimedia course and then had th chance to do an MA in Visual effects. i then was a runner at a company for a year or so and then got my chance to move up. You can just start as a runner mind you, but i went the long way round hehe. I bounce between companies on short term contracts which is the downside of the industry but might be lucky to stay a bit longer where i am now. ^_^

    O_O I’m just sitting here with my jaw dropped! You’re job sounds amazing, of course hard and challenging but i would think rewarding aswell! OMG lol i’m so shocked i’d never thought i’d be able to meet/speak to someone who has a job like you, i’m still shell shocked sorry XD Aww wow, you sound like you’ve worked really hard to get where you are :O i’m seriously impressed and omg you’ve worked on big block buster movies. How many years was your course? :O Is all the work you get on short term contracts? lol i want to study media in uni next year (i’m not too sure what i want to major in yet) but alot of people told me that it’s difficult to get a job and it’s incredibly competitive, do i have any hope ? :O LOL Sorry for all the questions, i’m seriously interested in what you have to say or if you have any advice ^_^ Also what’s the best part of your job? 

    Hi!!! so sorry for the delay in replying to you, work got busy and then i was on Holiday and now I am back and realised i never answered you! I’m not sure about media, but vfx can be a little competitive at times. If you really want it then go for it because that’s where the enthusiasm and drive will come from. I don’t know which angle of media you are looking at, but there are lots of vfx courses in the USA (I’m guessing that’s where you are). The ones in the UK like you to have math and art, but I did mine as a masters so i didn’t need the art bit.

    The best part of the job…the challenge of making things vanish so that no one ever knows they were there, knowing that millions of people will see your work, seeing your name on the credits if you are lucky and sometimes seeing the film 2 weeks before the premiere (we did for the last Harry Potter).

    I’ve generally work lots of short term contracts, the vfx houses usually have a core of permanent staff and then more when the projects get busy for a few months.

    Aw that sounds fantastic, did you enjoy your holiday ? 
    Ah i see, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, i really appreciate it. Oh, I actually live in Australia and the media industry isn’t as prominent as UK or US, there are very little Australian made films etc thus it’s harder to get jobs *CRIES* But as you’ve pointed at, with the competition it will drive me to work harder! 

    Wow, your job does sound empowering knowing that thousands of people will see your work :O Wow sometimes I myself forget that there’s so many aspects of a production of a media text, the credits for harry potter go for ages(but i just leave it on to listen to the soundtrack ^_^) and i’m still gobsmacked that i’m talking to someone who was apart of it. Does that mean when you watch film and tv, for example Dream High, do you analyse it (like I do out of curiousity)? Sorry for always you questions, i’m just genuinely interested and curious ^_^

    Australia does actually have a good VFX industry, I think there are three facilities in Sydney - Animal Logic  being the oldest (I think). There are a ton of different types of jobs you can get in a facility like that. Perhaps if you are near one you can apply to work as a runner over the summer? It would give you an idea of what you can do and what you can aim for in your degree.

    As for analysing films - i do that more now than I used to hehe http://countingpulses.com is my film/music blog - am going to post part 2 of a film comparison I’ve been doing this weekend that’s long overdue >_<
