Hello, welp, long story short, I want to become a special effects artist for a major movie studio such as Industrial Light & Magic or Lucas Arts. I would like to specialize in creating computer generated models of scenes and characters as seen in popular movies like Star Wars and The Matrix. But one thing, I know Everybody wants this type of job.
Does anyone know what are the base requirements for attaining such a position? How about job security, anything? Is this purely one of those situations where you just have to know the right people?
And so you know, currently, I am a college graduate with a BA in Computer Science, a minor in art, and I am thinking of going to Grad school. Plus, I've been developing a portfolio of my computer generated 2D and 3D works, and my current job is creating artwork / coding interactions (games) for my university's online courses.
So, do I have a shot? What should be my first step? I know this may be the wrong place to ask all this, but you know what they say, best way to get the truth is to ask a stranger.
