"I want to continue growing without giving up and move forward together with others."

My first encounter with VFX was vague and natural through videos and media I saw on television. However, I came to understand it more deeply after entering university and studying subjects related to my major. I chose this field because everything that could be expressed visually felt fascinating to me, and among those, moving visuals and especially the world of 3D stood out the most.

I wanted to learn Maya, so I started searching for Maya academies in Seoul. While doing so, I came across a portfolio video created by an SF Film School student on YouTube and was amazed by its quality. That experience led me to learn more about SF Film School.

Compared to other academies, SF Film School seemed to have much more professional and well-structured equipment and systems designed for students, making it appear to be an excellent environment for learning. In addition, after looking through the website and social media pages, I felt that the instructors were not simply teaching students mechanically. Instead, I could sense their passion, dedication, and pride in what they do. I also felt that the students were genuinely committed to their work. The students' portfolio projects were of such high quality that they had gained international recognition, which made choosing SF Film School feel like a natural decision.

When I visited SF Film School for a consultation, I noticed that it was conveniently located near Gangnam Station, making transportation easy. I was also surprised to see that the academy occupied the entire building and maintained a clean and organized environment. Even small details, such as the messages written in the restrooms, gave me the impression that this was a place that truly cared about its students. Because of that, I felt that if possible, I wanted to learn alongside many different people here and grow together with them.

At first, I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of questions in the first and second interview process. However, after reading through them, I realized that the purpose was to understand each student in greater depth and get to know them more personally. I appreciated that approach. The interview process also gave me the opportunity to reflect on aspects of myself that I do not usually think deeply about, so I have a positive impression of the way the interviews are conducted.

When I applied and visited the academy in person, I became even more certain that I wanted to study here with various people and grow together. I was truly happy when I was accepted.

I will complete the curriculum with passion and dedication. Even if I may be inexperienced and lacking at first, I want to continue improving without giving up and move forward together with the people at SF Film School.
