SPB Products and Services

I will try supplying my skills as a service to Visual Effects companies. At the beginning I will offer the service of XSI skills and VUE skills, as this is generally considered as entry level and a way of moving on to VFX. After gaining experience I will be able to move on to VFX and offering a service as a VFX artist. I will be constantly using and developing my level of skill and experience will be constantly developing, and calculated industry experience. As I become more experienced artist, my service will become more expensive. I feel grad to work unsociable hours and weekends. I can offer professional and efficient work. I am self motivated and hard working person, I have learnt the software recently in use within the industry therefore require no additional training.

There are two main types of people who go into VFX industry, for the first are the artistic types. People who love drawing, They can also just be people who have a good eye for scene composition, these people typically graduate to the 3D major, 3D modelling, texture artists, animators etc. the other type is the more scientific person. someone who does programming or can easily pickup complex applications and create scripts to solve technical problems.

There are several ways to get into VFX industry. To work with a post production company as a runner. Like The Mill, MPC, Framestore, ILM, have runners which run messages around the company do odd jobs. The second way is self study; a book can teach you how to use an application, and look at some gnomon DVDs is also helpful.The third way is in house classroom training or online training.

Market Analysis

From my primary research www.nanaguo-spb.blogspot.com, we know that what digital visual effects industry is and what the benefit the filmmaker and directors get from VFX industry.

Filmmakers and directors use digital VFX to modify, enhance and augment live-action cinematography. They use a subset of visual effects to enable realization of the visual aspects of film and television projects.

Digital technologies permit filmmakers to surpass the constraints of physical reality.
Typically VFX include integration of digital elements into live-action cinematography, combining elements from multiple sources into composite images or creating photorealistic shots totally by computer.

VFX artists can create 3D elements that do not exist in reality, for example the monsters, horror characters, a pig can talks, a head that explodes etc.

Digital set extensions permit modification of film locations VFX can alter environmental elements such as making day-night and creating storms, tornados, fire storms, that extend beyond both physical reality and budget allowances.

From above we will know that the visual effects industry business is a huge increasing market. More and more strong visual films are released every year, the effects and technique is better than the year before compare with the high standard effects shots. It is can say the visual effects industry have almost become a commodity and also it is used widely in films, games, commercials, game and TV shows industry. Also the trend of visual effects facilities hiring freelancers seems to be increasing.
