Instructor Details

Vicki Lau

Vicki started as a humble student of digital media back in the small city of Singapore with a background in visual effects in film and television and computer programming. Without any contacts or connections in the United States, she began her career at the age of 18 from Singapore, working her way up into the Hollywood film industry and landing her first break working on AMC's hit series, The Walking Dead (Season 4), as well as other movies such as Guardians of the Galaxy, War for the Planet of the Apes and the recent Aquaman.

Already recognized by her country and by major organizations as an expert in her field, Vicki has made great strides for someone her age, being in consistently high demand for jobs - averaging about 4 job offers and requests for interviews per freelance month(s) of availability, whilst her peers are still struggling to find their first entry-level position in the field. At only 24 years of age, she was one of the youngest speakers and presenters at the SMPTE Annual Technical Conference in its time, where she was a panelist and speaker for virtual reality in motion pictures.

Short and sweet course covering the information I never knew about VR when it comes to post-production or motion pictures. Learned a lot of new useful terms and vocab too. Wonderful!

Well, Earlier this course I thought VR for Gaming and Entertainment, But this proves me wrong....Great to know about the insights, UX & UI apparently focused on the software & hardware are really amazing....

By Marcus Paul on 5/25/2018

Another interesting presentation by Vicki! I learned a lot about the different types of VR coming from a completely different background. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
