If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s this: If anything is going to break in VFX – it will! Which is why when it comes to my own teaching, I stress the importance of understanding why you’re doing what you’re doing. In other words, VFX is not just about pushing the buttons. It’s about understanding what stands behind them.
I’m happy to have Jep Hill confirm that in this quick career talk. As Executive Director at Alkemy X and a VFX Supervisor, Jep understands the bird’s eye view of our business and why we do what we do as VFX Artists.
Alkemy X is an award-winning global creative company at the intersection of advertising, brands and entertainment. The company is a creative partner for the biggest names in film and television, such as Fear of the Walking Dead, Wednesday, The Whale, Westworld, Power, Dear White People, Hunters, Mr. Robot, and many more.
Since 1981, Alkemy X has been a pioneer in a continuously evolving industry — entrusted with projects generating billions of dollars in revenue. With the craft and talent to take on any project, they’re a vertically integrated creative company, offering strategy and execution with speed, quality and efficiency that always exceeds expectation.
The gist of this career segment is: Know the rules so you can break them! Let me know if this bit inspired you or simply confirmed what you already knew.
