The bar to break into VFX has never been higher — here's why

The entry-level pipeline that used to exist in this industry is disappearing.

Tasks that took entire teams are now being handled by one artist with AI-powered tools. That's not a prediction — it's already happening.

I've been hearing this from more and more students lately, and I think it's a conversation we need to have honestly. The bar is higher now. You can't just open the software — you have to actually be an artist.

That's not meant to scare you. It's meant to prepare you.

Shoutout to Double Jump Academy and Urban for staying ahead of the curve on this. Worth paying attention to what they're building.
