subject: Korean artists to lead CG Blockbuster [print this page] A Jung It's great that Korean VFX companies are collaborating on overseas projects and making inroads in other markets, and they should definitely keep up with this. It's difficult to expect the Korean VFX industry to grow if companies just target the limited domestic market with its small number of moviegoers. Producers in Hollywood are turning their attention outside the country to cut costs. So as long as you have solid qualifications and a good command of English, there's a good chance you can sign some kind of a deal with an overseas company for VFX or animation production. We have to figure out what our strengths and weaknesses are, and deal with the particular problems we face. Korea has a domestic movie and game market base, and a professional workforce. On the other hand, there is a lack of experts with high-end production experience and a language barrier in place. You also have to keep in mind that most of the countries doing VFX and animation work for the US right now are English-speaking ones like Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, India and the UK.
