Master's degree studies
On October 28, 2024, I had the opportunity to lead a lecture combined with a discussion for students of the Image and Sound Technology department at the Karol Adler Secondary School of Industry in Bratislava. Together, we addressed a number of key topics, from high school studies and a responsible approach to education and work, through preparation for graduation to the possibility of employment after completing their high school studies, with an emphasis on continuing to university.
The main part of the lecture was focused on studying at the College of Performing Arts, where I introduced the students to the possibilities of education in the field of game design and creation of visual effects in the AVFXHD studio. The students were actively interested in the difficulty of the entrance exams at VŠMU, while I described the process and criteria that must be met in more detail. I showed them samples of student films and effects I worked on, and presented them with opportunities to participate in workshops, conferences and other events organized within AVFX.
In the next part of the discussion, I presented my work as a video creator to the students and showed them concrete examples where they could see my experience and work style. Special attention was paid to the topic of creative use of artificial intelligence, for example in the creation of effect shots. The students were also very interested in the demonstrations of software that is commonly used in professional film and effects production.
