Prof. Sing Choong Foo integrated his own schooling experience explained “why he come to Beijing from Hollywood”. Prof. Sing has started his career from a 16 minute clip opportunity out of hobby, he said that when he was Cornel he had to study physics and mathematics and other scientific courses, it was coincidence that he had entered Computer Graphic Rendering Institute, but all the above seem today are precious assets for visual effect. Professor had put it that post produce after all is a service industry; a good post producer must understand film and its basic factors, camera shot and sequence shot; and even more important he should know how to serve the director, only with the permission of director can a post producer use his or her talent. To the end, special effect is an auxiliary industry to support film, we should not make special effect just for itself, rather than to make the film looks more real.
