Stop exploiting job seekers by creating misleading job titles in the creative/production field! It's unfair to advertise a role as a "video specialist" only to reveal a job description that includes Ideation, Scripting, Shooting (direction/dop), Editing, VFX, and SFX - a job that technically requires 4-5 people. While some may possess these skills, it takes years of learning and experience to truly excel. Let's be transparent and respectful to candidates by accurately representing the roles we're hiring for. Had to say this. #jobtitles #hiringprocess #transparency #videoproduction #linkedin #connections

Stop lying in job adverts. I cannot express this enough. A Production Assistant is not a phone sales position or a booth promoter. A Marketing Coordinator is not a door-to-door salesman. Misleading job seekers is wrong! #recruiters #recruitment #transparency #employerstandards

Here are a few open roles to consider!

Want to know what gets you hired as a VFX Artist? It's not just about knowing the software like the back of your hand. It's not just about creating stunning visuals. It's about understanding the art of storytelling. VFX Artists bring the vision of a Director to life. They create the atmosphere, the mood, and the tone of a film. They turn the impossible into reality. That's why storytelling skills are just as important as technical skills. The best VFX Artists understand how to create moments that move the audience. That's why they're in such high demand. So, if you're a VFX Artist, don't just focus on the technical stuff. Focus on your ability to tell a story. The rest will follow.

Hiring a videographer isn't just about finding someone creative. It's about finding a balance between creativity and technical expertise. From cameras to editing, each aspect requires careful consideration. The creative process is just as important as the plan of pre and post-production. Finding the right fit for your project is crucial to avoid surprises. Because RESULTS matter.

One thing I miss about working inside of a post house is when working on a project, and I notice something with an edit, color, or VFX. It was as simple as walking down the hall to their suite to talk about it. Now we have to make phone calls, send emails and/or text messages. Often times through a supervisor or Director since you don’t even know who those people are, and it will be weird to start talking to them about stuff that “technically” has nothing to do with “my job”. It’s a team effort at the end of the day, but when the team is spread out and assembled individually it’s a different dynamic. #audiopost #filmmaking #supervisingsoundeditor

🎥 Life in VFX: Where's the Next Adventure? Chatting with my dad today, he was stoked to hear the strikes were wrapping up and threw a classic dad question my way – "So, how do you get your next VFX gig?" Honestly dad, I don't know, it's different everytime. As a VFX Supervisor, the 'where' and 'how' of landing the next project is a bit of a mixtape – different tune each time. 🌴 LA Showrunners & The Vancouver Vibe: Sometimes (and almost always preferably) you get brough on early in the prep of a series of feature directly at the studio level. Being based up here in Vancouver while the showrunners are soaking up the sun in LA can be a bit like shouting across a canyon. But hey, it's all about making sure your echo carries. 🤝 Old Pals, New Gigs: Sometimes it's the local PMs or those cool (and almost always attarctive) post supervisors that I've worked with before. Getting the band back together. 🔄 The Referral Boomerang: Most often it seems to be those solid gold recs from other VFX pals who are too swamped to take on more. Of course thats just Production Side, not even counting the Vendor side which is its own wooly animal. So, what's the secret sauce? A little bit of who you know, a sprinkle of right place-right time, and a whole lot of just rolling with it. Curious about how you all find your way through the VFX jungle – hit me up with your stories! #VFXLife #CareerPaths #Networking #BehindTheScenes #VFXCommunity
