Francesca Galluzzi, Pipeline Supervisor, DNEG Animation
"From my experience, the more folks in production see you being there in the day to day work, the more they will feel more comfortable reaching out for support. The key is to not be a stranger, but turn myself into the first thing they think of when there is a pipeline struggle."

Bhavika Bajpai, CG Build Supervisor/Creature
"My first memory of being completely blown away by VFX was when I watched the first Jurassic Park as a little girl. I just could not believe that something so life-like could be created purely from your imagination to appear on the movie screen."

Bamboo Wang, FX Supervisor, DNEG Animation
"My main approach is to drive with motivation and trust. [...] I found usually putting the right people on the right task, everything just clicks from there. Once the artist is inspired, there’s very little guidance needed and the creativity shows in the result."
