The Multimedia course was very broad and I gained sound knowledge across various mediums- 2D animation, 3D modelling, web design and installation art. GC: I have always had a huge passion for film and computer graphics but I had never been exposed to the idea of it being a career until I was in my last year of completing my Bachelor degree. I then went on to complete a Bachelor of Multimedia and Digital Arts as well as a Graduate Diploma in Film and Television VFX.ĪCR: At what point did you hone in on VFX as a graduate pursuit and career choice? Being both creative and technical at the same time, it really drew me in. So I went ahead and completed two subjects and loved every minute of it. I walked out of the class and instantly knew that was not what I wanted to be doing for the rest of my life.Īt the time, my dad was working for a TAFE (technical training institute in Australia) and he suggested I try out a few subjects from a course they offered called Multimedia. I completed my first year of the course and then attended a 5 hour chemistry lab on the very first day of my second year.
