what i want out of spellbound

i would like the experiences on this project to teach me a lot about effects, by that i mean that to give me experience in creating fluid containers from scratch. I would like to learn about voxel fluids particle fluids, particle simulations, rigid body simulations, cloth simulations. I would also like to try out conception and previs for effects, then doing them, as this will teach me how to take a concept given to me by a director or client, and work it up to a final effect that could be used in a film or commercial.

i would like to develop my artistic skills, and get an eye for composition and color, as this will help me in the future in setting up shots to maximize their presence on screen.

I'd like to build my team skills, and have experience of working different roles within a pipeline of people. i have worked as a freelancer before, so i am familiar with doing everything myself, but i would like some experience in working a specific role of a job. Learn about dependencies, and how they can affect deadlines and the work of others.

I would also like to get a lot of nice showreel pieces for my portfolio. I am looking to move into effects at some point, so it would be nice to have enough by the end of this project to build a first real effects reel.
