Why the difference between good work and great work often comes down to one simple thing most people get wrong. At CG Spectrum LIVE, Dr. Kathy Bard, Mentor of Core Subjects, talks about what actually separates hireable junior talent from the rest. Kathy has worked in production and recruitment for high-end visual effects, with credits including Captain Marvel, Jungle Cruise, Mortal Kombat, Ford v Ferrari and X-Men: Dark Phoenix. She breaks down why knowing your audience changes everything about how you should build your portfolio, what studios actually look for when hiring juniors, and why she chooses to pass her industry experience on to the next generation of artists. At CG Spectrum Institute, students learn from working industry professionals who help them build the technical skills, creative judgement, and professional standards needed for careers in games, animation, FX and digital art.
