Work Environment

I finished my first week at new company.
It was really great company more than I expected.

MPC is located in center of London. The place is so cool. And
coworker are not only British people but also many foreigners.
Exactly international work environment. So very good place for
practice English. But to tell the truth, I really really realize my poor
English skill. May be worst among all... I have to improve quickly.

My big surprised was their values of work. Though their works
are so great, they basically don’t do overwork and holiday work.
When I was working in Japan, I usually had to overwork everyday.
And I sometime had to continue to stay all over night at company.

Of course they have to do depends on cases and near deadline.
But basically they are forbid to overwork without permission and
schedule is planing without overwork. Quite different to Japan.

I want to continue to work as long as possible in this company.
And I also want to get a lot of experiences about not only VFX
skills but also their culture and values of work and life.

I Got Job!!

I got a big chance!!
I’ll be able to start working as a Computer Graphics Artist.

It was suddenly event. My CG school teacher introduced
me to some companies' recruiters end of last year. And 
I received one recruiter’s contact and had a chance to
take interview end of last week.

And I finally got official offer from the company!!
The company is MPC. (http://www.moving-picture.com/)

MPC provides many Hollywood movies and commercials.
I'll start to work in commercial department from this week.
I'll contract three month as a trial and after that if possible,
I’ll be able to contract one year until end of my visa period.

I'm so exiting and at the same time I feel so strong pressure....
But this is start of my dream. I'll do my best!!
