VFX: Portfolio review + Tips to get the job you want!

Hi!

During this one hour session(often more...!), my goal is simple: To give you hints, tricks and feedbacks that I would have loved to get when I started in the industry 18 years ago!


A bit about me:

1. Since I started working in the Vfx industry, I had diverse positions, from 3D generalist(Modeling/Tracking/Layout/Fx simulations/Textures/Precomp), to Matte Painter and then to Visual Development artist.

2. I’ve had the opportunity to work on major franchises such as

Spider-Man: Far from Home, Dr Strange: in the Multiverse of Madness, Blade Runner 2049, Captain Marvel, Army of the Dead, DeadPool 2, Terminator:Genisys, X-men Days of Future Past...

3. I am currently working as Head of Visual Development at Framestore(Vfx for AAA films), we are working on titles like the next **Spider-Man No Way Home, Moonfall, Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness...**

You can find some of my professional and personal work here:

4. I have been interviewing and accompanied new hires to find their way in that very competitive field for years in different companies, I reviewed tons of portfolios, given many interviews and submitted thousands of frames myself for reviews, either to Vfx Supervisors or Directors.


A bit just for you:

1. Your portfolio is the main tool you'll have to open the main doors of the industry(either Games or Films productions).

2. Your selected frames should reflect by themselves who you are as an artist and technician and also as a future professional.

3. Let me help you in the stressfull process of getting the position you are looking for:

4. By defining your strenghts and weaknesses, with a focused review on your portfolio, I will help via advices using paintovers and references, to upgrade your current frames for your next potential interviews.

Hopefully this review will get you closer to your goals!


I think the flexibility here using IAMAG platform, gives anyone who is willing to pursue these type of careers strong opportunities to get real feedbacks from established and experienced professionals.


See you soon!

    Syllo is a true professional! I'm really glad I got this opportunity to talk to him personally and ask questions I had about the industry and what it takes to get in. He provided me with clear and helpful feedback along with sharing some useful tricks. Awesome!

Hello, I'm sylvain lorgeou.
About me(Sylvain Lorgeou//Syllo) I use the nickname "Syllo" for my digital work online(It is just a combo of the first letters of my name and first name, easier to remember and mostly to type!) I started roughly 17 years ago as a generalist in a small commercial and films company, it was a great place to learn as the turnarounds were pretty quick! I'm working now for a vfx film company(Frametore) as the Head of Visual Development, we are working now on titles like **Spider-Man: No Way Home, **Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, **Moonfall ... Among others ;) I know quite well the different departments implied in the creation of Vfx, but I've been mostly working as a Matte Painter and a Visual Development/Concept artist for most of my career. You can find some examples of my personal work here: https://www.artstation.com/syllo Pretty soon I should be able to show some recent and actual big productions work from the shows we worked on, but as you know probably already, productions approvals on this type of work can be a long process ;) So, I'm from France originally, but live now in Montreal, Canada. Since I started working in the VFX industry, I had multiple positions before finding just the right fit (from 3D generalist, to Matte painter, to Visual Development). Now with around 17 years of experience, I’ve had the opportunity to work on major franchises, such as **"Blade Runner 2049", **"Captain Marvel", **"Army of the Dead", **"Dumbo", **"Terminator Genisys ", **"X-men Days of Future Past"... I had the priviledge to be nominated for a VES award in 2017 in the "Outstanding Created Environment in a Photoreal Feature" category for our work on Blade Runner 2049 among other coworkers @Framestore, more info here: https://www.framestore.com/bladerunner2049?language=en I did a conference in 2017, in depth, about Framestore work on Blade Runner 2049 in Paris for ArtFx school's students (@ the auditorium -Parc de la Villette at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie).
