Hey folks, just wanted to share a little nugget of wisdom for anyone diving into the world of visual effects. One of the best things you can do is to start simple. Seriously, don't get caught up trying to recreate the next blockbuster's level of CGI. Begin with small effects—like adding a bit of smoke or a subtle color grade. You'll learn so much more by mastering the basics first. And remember, YouTube and online forums are goldmines for tutorials and advice. Keep experimenting, and don't be afraid to fail. Each misstep is just another step towards mastering your craft. Happy creating!
