Hello Everybody! Here we have another CTN experience ready to go! This time we are interviewing Dahye Jung. She brought her portfolio to CTN, to show around as a first time.
1. Which term are you?
-7th
-7th
2. How was getting ready for CTN?
- It was my first time going to CTN, but pretty much what I did was preparing my portfolio for the studio portfolio checking, and applied for the Raise the Bar Recruiting opportunities, and I checked some valuable workshops and speaking schedule that I want to join.
3. What did you expect from CTN?
- Valuable portfolio reviews and tips which helping me to improve my art works.
4. How did you like it?
<For the portfolio Review>
- Honestly, a little disappointed. The studio reviews were not precise and not straight-forward enough. Pretty much all the reviews studio gave me were just sweet and very general. Lots of cases were not professional and helpful critiques. Or lots of case, the advice they gave me were I already knew. Also Studio reviews were pretty different depends on studio's style. It could be confused to lots of students. For example, Laika and Disney gave me a really different review to me.
- But in a good side, I can see people's reaction for my works and which pieces catch people's eyes and make people happy and surprised. That was valuable. Because it's kind of hard to get a chance to see professional artists' reaction for my art works out of school.
- And individual artists gave me a better and helpful feedback. But when they are busy, their review was not helpful.
5. Did you show your portfolio?
- Yes. I showed it to the Studios (Sony, Laika, Blue Sky, Disney) And also to the individual artists (Pascal Campion, Steven Silver) and Character Design Portfolio checking with 3 character designers.
6. How was the crits? Was it helpful?
- I answered already on the Q 4.
7. what would you do better or different next time?
- I might checked if there's valuable speeches or my favorite artists next time or not on the schedule. If there's no good speeches or my heros, I might not attend CTN next time. Because studio portfolio critics were not either helpful enough or it was too general as much as I already knew about before. Plus, it takes too long time for waiting. It was crazy!! Disney, especially!
8. Any tips or funny stories?
- Check and research artists and speeches first before going. In my case, since I didn't know many good artists' name, so i missed lots of good speeches and workshops. Make your own schedule(plan) and spend valuable times in CTN. Also for the portfolio review, sometimes individual artists give better helpful critiques than studio, which is helpful for improving my works.
