Eran - Thanks. I am an Effects TD (technical director).
My work consists of mainly dynamic simulations, R&D, and scripting. I also do animation here, lighting, and some modeling.
I am the only in house effects, and acting lead.
VazaA-The reason I dont think that an Adobe certificate is the way to go when considering a career in Film and Games is because Adobe software plays a small role in production.
I think its a waste of time and money to focus only on adobe software when you might barely even use photoshop or after effects.
If you become a compositor, you might work with after effects.
If you become a texture artist, you will definitely use photoshop.
Other than those two positions, We dont really use adobe programs. Now autodesk is a different story. Autodesk controls the market for Film and Games.
I have been working in the industry for about 3 years now. I can count on 1 hand the amount of times I used adobe programs, and none of that work was complicated.
The programs I have used most are Maya, realflow, shake.
TV and Film generally use more Maya.
Games tend use more 3d max.
I went to school at a 4 year fine arts college called Pratt.
I dont think you have to do 4 years to be good. You can study a certificate program, and have a very sucessful career. I teach at Gnomon in hollywood, and my certificate students are amazing. Whatever course you decide to take, make sure it has a good balance of art and cg. Because it is very important to understand both
Eden- I already answered you in your email. But for everyone else - I have an american and israeli ezrahut. But dont let that stop you from trying. I went to school with other israelis who didnt. If you are very good at art, or participate in international festivals...you can
A. I beleive get scholarships
B. apply for an artist visa, if you have achievments.
Also, school here is expensive. I took a loan from the bank and pay it back in monthly payments.
Hope this answered eveyones questions.
