Yeah I love it, every project is a learning experience and they run from 3 months up to a couple of years. So you get this project to project cadence to your life that I like. If you are on early, you get to spend the time to invest in engineering things right to save you all time throughout the show. As you near delivery, you’re doing the sketchy fixes that are just enough to get you over the line.
My attitude is that It’s all about getting the best result on the screen for the money and time you have available, and treating people in a way that they want to work with you again.

This sounds a lot like software projects. I’m sure it applies to a lot of areas.
Yeah the artists are on a sliding scale from, ‘can barely use a desktop and email’ to those that write shaders and simulation code in assembly or vulcan for the gpu. We have a lot of software engineers to make artist tools or pipeline tools.
I suppose I have this romanticised idea of it. I love watching movies, like it’s my go to wind down so it was more of a general question.
VFX sounds cool. Do you enjoy it?

Spot on. Thanks for the insight.
