Description
In this episode, I chat to Simon Legrand, realtime Supervisor at Untold Studios in London about his journey into the VFX industry. During this discussion, Simon shares his unsugarcoated journey and story of the realities of the VFX industry, worth listening to. We talk about some of the pros and cons of working in the VFX industry, and touch on topics such as overtime work and realties of how that and the industry culture can sometimes be dangerous for the mind frame, and in some unfortunate cases, temporarily or permanently hurt relationships, which is common to Simon's story. Simon, in my opinion is a legend of an artist, with so much experience, having worked at incredible studios such as Animal Logic, Weta, ILM, DNEG, MPC and more, and on some incredible shows such as Avatar, Star Wars, Xmen, Rise of the planet of the apes and many many more!
