Vicki started as a humble student of digital media back in the small city of Singapore with a background in visual effects and programming in film and television. 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.
She gave a TEDx talk on visual effects and virtual reality in May 2016 at Napa Valley, CA and in November 2018, was invited to speak as a k

I'm Beigner...i am not understanding node base.

Very good at breaking down the basics of Nuke. Something I hope that is covered later in the course is how to properly save and open nuke scripts. Because in the past I have problems with footage not linking up properly when I open up Nuke.

Very thorough and good balance between theory and practical application.

By Phillip Eastwood on

Vicki is incredibly engaging and makes the process of learning fun (even the tedious and tough bits), yes occasionally the topics pass by really quick - but watching a couple of times per section or slowing down playback really does help....enjoyed that this showed a practical approach to using Nuke...

Vicki is a very good instructor. Her wit and energy make the lessons very engaging. Good mix of fundamentals and software tips and tricks.

By Jorge Hierro on

So far it's being useful though it gets difficult to follow due to the teacher's messy layout workflow in the node graph.

By Pablo Ballester Gonzlez on
