Description
In this episode, I chat to Yin Wu, a Junior CG Artist at The Mill, Shanghai, about his experience and journey into the Chinese VFX industry.My curiosity of the Chinese industry, leads me to chase for comparisons between the U.K. VFX industry - Finding similarities and differences on topics like work-life-balance and how the industry differentiates itself between Beijing and Shanghai. Yin's story is that of dedication and merit. As a developing CG artist, with background in Blender, we dive in to find out why Blender stands out for him. We also discuss his transition into Unreal engine, and Houdini.As always, if you liked this episode, please like, comment, subscribe and share!Connect with Yinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/yin-wu-b8804aa9/Subscribe to our channelhttps://www.youtube.com/c/TheVFXArtistsPodcastListen to all episodes on our websitehttps://www.thevfxartistspodcast.com/Chapters:00:00:00 Ident 00:00:05 Intro 00:00:46 Get to know Yin 00:01:04 How I got into the VFX industry 00:05:20 Getting my first VFX job in China 00:06:44 Becoming an artist at The Mill Shanghai 00:10:06 A bigger picture of the VFX industry in China 00:11:04 Work-life-balance in the Chinese VFX industry 00:14:20 Regulations for better work-life balance in the Chinese VFX industry 00:15:33 Working in Blender 00:18:23 Inspiration behind the cityscape 00:19:55 Transition to Unreal Engine 00:21:49 Typical route to entry into the Chinese VFX industry 00:23:50 Freedom of career direction in the Chinese community 00:25:14 What inspired your journey into the creative industry 00:26:10 Need for change in the Chinese VFX industry 00:31:48 Advice for aspiring VFX artists 00:33:16 Commercials vs Film, Shanghai vs Beijing 00:34:31 Conclusion #vfxpodcast #chinesevfxindustry #vfxartistchina
