Background:

In the past, we have been giving free personal conselling to many.
The number has increased ever since there has been much publicity
about the industry picking up.

There are 2 groups of people we are reaching out to:

A) Graduates from CG related courses
We have come across many who were quite lost when it comes to
preparing their showreel and portfolio. Many showreel and portfolio
does not speak well for the artists. It does not demonstrate that
the artist has the capabiliy to take on a specific role in the
production. A lack of interaction between the artists and the
industry is one of the cause of it. Hence no matter how many
companies we have introduced to them, they still failed the
interview.


B) A and O levels students and those who decided to enter the
industry.

With the increased in publicity, many have been taking up both
public and private courses without a a clear idea of the industry
and what is expected out of them. First, they need to have a clear
idea what is the role they want to play and what kind of skillset is
required to take on the job. Only then they will know how to choose
the right program to assist them in preparing oneself for the
specific job role they want to play in a production. Learning with
an objective in mind is important.
