    8. Communication can make you a better artist

    How well you communicate can dictate how far you will get in your career in VFX and how quickly you get there. But most artist don't think about communication as part of their skill set and are therefore holding themselves back. The good thing is that it's not rocket science and that you can learn to communicate better!
