Received a 4 year degree in film/tv which wasn’t your typical film school, normal 4 year college. Upon graduation worked at some post houses as a runner, then worked my way up to be a tape operator for the Henry and Inferno artists. Then the “big break” came when I got a job as a tape operator for the flame artists at Digital Domain. Spent many many nights after work reading the thick inferno manual and teaching myself. Became a Roto artist for a while then moved onto compositing. I learned Nuke when it wasn’t available to the public and learned a ton. After a few years at DD I took the jump and freelanced. A lot of ups and downs, a lot of hard work but I’m glad I went that route. Met a lot of great people along the way that I still talk to till this day. ---

I did Mediatechnology (engineering) . Gave me great fundamental knowledge,I think it really helped me just to learn how to learn. Took me like 23 semesters to finish though as I was always doing my own stuff , but college is free so whatever 😄 ---

When I was 10 my mum (mom) bought me a super 8 camera. I filmed everything! From spiders eating flys to all my cousins weddings, engagements Christenings etc. (I’m greek and have lots of cousins) I didn’t like school much cause I think the bullying got to me and anyhow all I was interested in was filming stuff and becoming a “cameraman” at the local TV station. I wanted to leave at year 10 but only if I got into a film school. The Australian Film and TV School were starting up a technical traineeship and the intake was 4 students every 3 years. You can imagine how excited I was when I was accepted. I was the youngest student ever to go there. It was like on the job training and I got paid for it!. I spent 6 months in each major department. Studio, Tapes/editing Sound, Colour and OB’s. Seriously I was like a kid in a lollie (candy) shop. Whilst spending 3 years at the school I also did a tech college course where I learnt the theory of TV and what a group of grain is called… glumps After the 3 years I sent my resume to all the companies I wanted to work for. Unbelievably they all wanted me to start immediately. I was so flattered! I chose the largest post facility (because they had the most toys). I spent the first few years there soaking up knowledge from all the seniors. Anyhow, this forum title is “did you go to school”. 40ish years later I can happily say that I’m still learning and Logik is my current School. Thanks everyone for answering my questions!!! ---
