What do studios ACTUALLY look for in emerging talent?
Not perfect grades.
Not ‘industry-ready’ teenagers.
And definitely not AI-written buzzwords.
This week’s brand new
@accessvfx podcast goes ‘all in’ on portfolios, burnout, resilience, curiosity, rejection, networking and the myths young people are constantly told about breaking into visual effects (VFX) and animation.
Featuring recruiters, educators and studio leaders from across the industry.
🎙️ Out now, wherever you get your podcasts!
