Render Ready: Getting Started in VFX

​

Visual effects are at the heart of some of the most spectacular storytelling in film, television and screen content, but breaking into the VFX industry can feel daunting. In this panel, industry practitioners from The Post Lounge, PROXi VP, and Myriad Studios share their insights on starting out in this fast-paced field. The conversation will explore the wide variety of roles and specialisations across the VFX and post-production pipeline, from compositing and animation to finishing, colour, LiDAR capture and technical workflows, highlighting that there are many pathways into the industry. Hear firsthand what it’s like building a career in VFX, and gain practical advice on entry-level pathways, studio expectations and the skills that matter most. Whether you’re aiming for large-scale productions or your first role in post-production, this session unpacks the tools, workflows and mindset needed to get your work render.
