2bitfx Studio Links

This is a list of some sites I found interesting in the industries of Visual Effects, Animation, Games and Graphics. Some are very highend Feature FX sites others are not as highend but exhibit some cool projects that either I was interested by or felt that others trying to break into the industry might find interesting. This list truly illustrates there is more work out there than just Digital Domain, ILM, Pixar, Sony, and Dream Works.

Smaller studios don't hire as often so keep your eyes on them and be ready to pounce on that job posting as soon as it hits the web. Also don't let yourself get sucked up into the notion that the big studios are better. In industry it is not as stratified as you would think. It's all experience. So if you feel that you really want to be at the big studios but can't get a look... try to get a job at a smaller studio and try again after a project or two (not that it is easier to get a job at a small house, just don't limit your options).

The main difference from a big studio to a small studio is that at a big studio you do one very specific thing... at a small studio typically you have a much farther reaching spread in the way of tasks and responsibilities. It is really about who you know first and what experience do you have more so than talent(not meaning you don't need it), although talent is what will get you the job when you have little or no professional experience. So good luck in your job search.
