Seo Min Jung

"I want to create imaginative visuals through my creativity and attention to detail."

While working at a public institution, I heard that a university colleague had found a job in the CG field. Even during my time there, I felt that the path I was on didn’t truly suit me, yet I struggled to let go. However, after seeing my colleague’s work, I realized that I should pursue what I genuinely want to do.

During my university years, I was always interested in expressing my ideas creatively through visual media. In the end, I came to the conclusion that I want to fully dedicate myself to what I truly enjoy, which led me to seriously pursue the Visual Graphics field.

While searching for VFX and CG academies through SNS, blogs, and YouTube, SF Film School stood out to me. After seeing the high-quality portfolio work of its graduates, I felt a strong desire to immerse myself in creating 3D visual content.

I am confident in my work ethic and am willing to put in the time and effort, even if it requires long hours, to achieve the results I aim for. I find a strong sense of accomplishment in completing projects, and I believe that studying Visual Graphics will allow me to grow significantly.

I also believe that 3D visual media has a powerful advantage in conveying a creator’s intent—such as story and purpose—clearly and intuitively to the audience. Through my creativity and attention to detail, I want to create meaningful and engaging visual content.

Although I am still new to the Visual Graphics field and may have many areas to improve, I am committed to investing the necessary time and effort to achieve strong results. Choosing a new path has come with many concerns and doubts, but I am ready to overcome them and continue growing through dedication and persistence.

"I will become a skilled VFX artist."

While taking special effects courses at university, I studied the history and various types of VFX. Unlike before, when I simply thought of it as “CG,” I came to understand that the field consists of many different areas. Among them, I became particularly interested in matte painting and the creation of natural environments and backgrounds.

After graduating from a film major, I found myself more drawn to post-production work rather than on-set roles. In order to pursue a career related to visual effects, I searched online for VFX academies and came across SF Film School. Seeing the many discussions about the school, along with its awards and the quality of student work on the website, led me to apply.

What stood out to me was that the process involved first and second interviews to understand each student and determine whether they are a good fit for the program. This gave me the impression that it is not just an academy that simply teaches, but one that genuinely considers its students, which built my trust.

After learning about the facilities, overseas employment opportunities, and special lectures offered, I felt confident that I would be able to learn a great deal here. Being selected as an accepted student made me feel a stronger sense of responsibility, especially knowing that the instructors believed I was a good fit for the program.

Moving forward, I will dedicate myself to studying hard and continue working toward becoming a skilled VFX artist.

"I want to develop skills that are recognized in the professional field."

I have always enjoyed watching films, but beyond simply enjoying them, I became deeply curious about how the scenes were created. Through making-of videos, I learned that many of these scenes are produced using graphics. From that point on, I became interested in VFX and CG technologies, and I continued to explore related content to broaden my understanding.

Ultimately, my curiosity about CG, sparked through film, led me to this field, and I set a goal of building practical skills to grow into a professional. I want to create work through VFX that can bring emotion and awe to audiences.

In my department, the curriculum was more focused on games, which made it difficult to study the kind of VFX I wanted. While searching for a more specialized way to learn, I discovered this academy through online research. The biggest reason I chose it was its practice-oriented approach. Since VFX is a field where hands-on experience and portfolio quality matter more than theory, the consultation gave me confidence that this is a place I can trust.

Even when I visited the academy, I felt a sense of excitement that reminded me of when I first became interested in this field. When applying, I felt both anticipation and nervousness, but I strongly wanted to learn here because the practical training aligns with my goals. After being accepted, I felt both excitement and a sense of responsibility, which strengthened my determination to do my best.

Moving forward, I will dedicate myself to learning at SF Film School and work toward developing skills that are recognized in the professional industry.

Jang Jin Kyu

"I want to absorb as much as possible, practice what I learn, and build the skills needed to secure a job."

After graduating from university, I enrolled in a three-year animation college. Although I had to withdraw due to personal reasons, that experience introduced me to Maya, which I found highly engaging. I became particularly interested in lighting, and I was drawn to the idea of creating cinematic-quality animation.

While studying on my own, I felt that my skills were not improving as much as I had hoped, and I began to feel anxious about employment. I believe that SF Film School will provide the support I need. When I first visited the website, I was genuinely impressed. I had often looked at The Rookies while studying independently, and seeing that this school has achieved top rankings there was surprising.

I have also heard that the quality of student portfolios reflects the level of an institution, and after seeing the work from SF Film School students, I gained strong trust in the program. When I applied, I felt very nervous—it felt like starting over, which brought both uncertainty and concern. Now that I’ve been accepted, I feel excited, but also a sense of responsibility to perform well and achieve strong results.

Moving forward, I want to make the most of my time by learning as much as I can, applying it through practice, and steadily building the skills needed for employment. While I have access to the instructors, I hope to gain as much practical knowledge and professional insight as possible.

Jung Jun Seo

"I will take responsibility and stay committed to the program until the end."

My interest in VFX and CG grew as I watched films and explored related materials. I have always enjoyed creating things in a three-dimensional way, such as sculpture and 3D modeling, which led me to choose the field of Visual Graphics.

Among all the works I’ve seen, Interstellar left the strongest impression on me. Watching it in the theater was the first time I truly felt overwhelmed by a film. The vastness of space and the awe-inspiring depiction of planets made me constantly wonder, “How did they even imagine and create something like this?” It left a lasting sense of admiration.

While searching for CG academies, I learned that SF Film School is one of the largest in Korea. After receiving guidance, I felt that, unlike other institutions, it focuses entirely on CG and provides a structured and specialized approach to teaching.

Since I was young, I have enjoyed shaping characters and figures using clay, and I have always been fascinated by CG environments and characters in films and animations. Although I am not yet very familiar with computer programs, I have a strong interest and passion for CG and VFX.

With a sense of responsibility, I will stay committed and fully engage in the program until the end.

Kim Ha Ram

"I will work hard and do my best to build my skills."

While watching cinematic videos from League of Legends, a game I’ve always enjoyed, I became deeply drawn to the appeal of 3D animation. Seeing the characters’ movements and emotions expressed so vividly in skill and combat scenes made me think, “How amazing would it be if I could create scenes like this myself?” This experience gave me clarity about my career path and led me to conclude that becoming a 3D animator is the direction I want to pursue.

Compared to other academies, SF Film School provides an environment where students can learn practical skills using equipment and workflows similar to those used in the industry. In particular, I believe the portfolio development and career support programs will greatly help me build competitiveness and achieve my goals in the 3D animation field.

When I applied, I felt both fear about whether I would be accepted and excitement about the possibility. After being accepted, I felt a sense of anticipation for the future, knowing that I now have the opportunity to pursue what I truly want and achieve my goals.

I will dedicate myself fully and continue working hard to develop my skills.

Park Ji Min

"I will build a strong foundation at SF Film School."

During my undergraduate years, I remember being amazed to learn that, in many live-action films, almost everything on screen except the actors was created using 3D graphics. In the digital era, filmmaking has essentially become a form of graphic work, and I came to feel that studying graphics is no longer optional, but essential.

I am currently working at a content production studio, creating webtoons. As webtoons are based on a scrolling interface, they tend to share similarities with cinematic language more than traditional printed comics. Recently, there has been a growing demand for 3D graphics in webtoon production. While working on long-term projects, I also came to realize how essential visual storytelling and adaptation into video formats have become in content creation.

Through the need for 3D assets in my work, I began to think about expanding both my career and the potential of my content—from still-image-based webtoons into video. While searching online for a place to learn Maya, I discovered SF Film School. From its name and website, I felt that it offers not only technical training, but also a deeper understanding of the overall filmmaking process.

Being in an environment where I can fully dedicate myself to studying visual production is something I truly look forward to. I am grateful for the opportunity, and I will do my best to build a solid foundation at SF Film School.

Bin Ye Ji

"It would feel truly reassuring to take this journey together with SF Film School."

While learning 3D modeling on my own, I developed a dream of one day working at Disney. At first, it was just a vague idea, but after being given an opportunity to go to the United States, I decided that I want to actively pursue this dream and turn it into reality. That is what led me to choose this field.

While searching online, I came across SF Film School. The instructor who guided me through the consultation was highly professional and explained everything in detail, which gave me a strong sense of trust. I also felt that this would be a place that could effectively support my goal of working abroad, which influenced my decision.

After changing my major, I began studying 3D modeling on my own, and two years ago, when I secured my current job, the feeling was indescribable. Now, I am taking on a new challenge once again—and this time, knowing that I will not be alone, but supported by SF Film School, gives me great confidence and reassurance.

Choi Sang Min

"I realized that high-quality results can come from a well-equipped environment."

I have loved movies and dramas since I was young. At first, I didn’t fully appreciate how advanced CG technology was, but after majoring in media design at university, I began to notice CG more when watching films. This naturally led to curiosity and interest, and I decided to pursue the film side rather than games.

While searching for academies with a friend from the same major, I came across SF Film School, which had impressive portfolio work. I felt that the facilities were excellent, and it made me think that a strong environment can lead to high-quality results.

Balancing university and academy life, as well as concerns about employment, made me feel uncertain at times. However, after being accepted, I became determined to attend diligently, improve my quality and skills as quickly as possible, and work toward securing a job in a shorter timeframe.

Jeon Jun Hyung

"I am someone who follows through on what I set my mind to."

I initially chose to study design because I enjoyed drawing and felt confident in it. However, as I continued learning and exploring, I became deeply drawn to the field itself. After attending workshops, I realized that I needed more structured training, which led me to search for academies and eventually find SF Film School.

When I first visited, the atmosphere was overwhelming in the best way—it felt both impressive and exciting, living up to its reputation. It made me even more certain that this is where I want to be.

Once I decide to do something, I commit to it fully. That’s why I strongly want to attend SF Film School. As I mentioned in the interview, I will give it my absolute best. This year, I plan to dedicate myself completely, create a strong graduation project, and build an outstanding portfolio.
