Skillset Animation has put together a nice little free handbook called “The Core Skills of VFX”, aimed at students in the UK looking to get into the VFX industry.  Even if you’re not in the UK, it’s a great look at the skills and expertise you’ll need to get going, and some nice tips on how to stand out from the crowd.

The handbook is relevant to both students and tutors; it is designed to assist universities and colleges to raise the standard of VFX courses available and therefore the new talent available in the UK.

View the handbook online Via Google Docs, or download it via The Core Skills of VFX – Skillset.
