Hasta La Motion!

My name is Stefan Lipsius. 25, living close to Toronto Ontario. Ive been interested in compositing for awhile now, but I havent done too too much with it. Ive done a couple of the tutorials over at videocopilot.net which were alot of fun. What Ive liked the most are the special effects / particals. Spell effects, fire, etc.

My question for you pros is this; Is it possible to find junior SFX jobs that do only particals, or do I need to learn roto and stuff as well?

Does anyone have any suggestions for where I should start, if Im doing this all on my own? I have experience with maya and photoshop and stuff through school (game development graduate). But lately Ive been feeling Im more into compositing than game developement.

Any suggestions or info would be GREATLY appreciated.

oh, and I already have the art and science of digital compositing book. 🙂

Thanks for your time

Stefan
