How I Became A VFX Coordinator | TVAP EP38

The VFX Artists Podcast

In this episode, we chat to Atem Kuol about how he became a VFX coordinator.
Starting up as a witness camera operator and venturing into VFX production before embarking on 'Death on the Nile' as assistant coordinator, Atem gives us the low down on his experiences and how he made it into the VFX industry from his early beginnings in the live TV industry.
One not to be missed, from anyone looking to understand what VFX coordinators do, and the ins and outs of how one gets to be one.
