Reaching Out to People, Learning the Art of Making Connections

I wanted to make this a separate post as this is a bit of a tangent from my physical progress on my thesis, and more mental/industry knowledge kind of thing.

So in this past semester I’ve tried to reach out to as many people as I can in the industry to make connections, gather knowledge on the industry, and guidance on how to get into the industry.

My first contact was Jack Chen, an ITP grad working at the Mill as a technical artist that I reached out to last semester via Linkedin when I first became interested in Virtual Production, I saw that his work was in a similar vein to what I was interested in. I met up with him again this semester the week before my thesis brief was due and he gave me a lot of good insight and helped me pivot my thesis project from a portfolio building multi-work series to a heavier focus on a single larger project. 

Jack gave me a ton of amazing advice working on my thesis and a lot of insight on what he does exactly day to day. 

I then next reached out to Kevin Peter He, another ITP grad that recently became the creative director of Zerospace, a virtual production studio with an insane amount of the latest technology. He gave me a more in depth understanding of the virtual production industry as a whole as well as his entire journey. I will say I was a bit too nervous and stumbled a little on my words so I feel like I didn’t leave the best first impression, but he did give me a ton of great insight as well. 

I reached out to the other creative director of Zerospace as well, Eric Chang, whom I talked to a bit last spring when Todd Bryant told me to go to a Vicom meetup at Zerospace and talk to him. Unfortunately this time I got no response. 

I then had a friend connect me to Grant Ng who is an IDM grad and currently a Motion Capture Supervisor at Prysm Stages and previously worked with on virtual production with Marvel on She-hulk. Grant’s story was amazing and he had an incredible depth on the virtual production industry, I really felt like I had a better grasp of the industry leaving that conversation as well.

Jack Chen recommended that I reach out to Ryan Paz, another ITP grad (noticing an interesting trend here...) that is focused on the virtual production scene and told me about his experience at Unrealfest as well as his class project with Noah Kadner himself (the guy that wrote the Virtual Production Field Guide that I am heavily referencing in my research for my thesis project and paper). 

Everyone I’ve talked to so far has given me such unique insights on the industry and amazing guidance on the skills I should develop and ways to get a job. I feel truly blessed that this many people have even agreed to meet up with me. 

I definitely look to keep the train going and make more connections. I’ve sent out an email to one of my undergrad professors that works as a media project manager at Microsoft as well tried to connect with one of Grant’s friends that works at ILM, still waiting on their responses so we’ll see how things go on from here!

I’ve learned so much not only about the industry, but also just in terms of reaching out to people, making connections, and how to talk and socialize as well in a professional manner to make these connections, it’s been a scary journey I won’t lie, but I don’t regret it one bit.
