** fake hiring Alerts for VFX Artists ** This is a post that came up on LinkedIn in the last 24 hours. The person who posted this is also a famous person in the industry. The post came with an image of "Hiring Mid / Senior Compositor". The caption is also given in French. But this is a post that says they are looking for storyboard artist. This post has been published with fake information to get more reach. As a recruiter, you should show at least a little honesty about the work you do. Most of the vfx artists around the world are currently unemployed. Therefore, it is a wrong attitude to try to gain social media reach by taking advantage of it. This is not just this one person. There are many fake job opening posts like this. This is also a message to them. Be honest in the work you do. Those who share, please make sure the post is genuine and share it. #hiring #vfx #artist #compositors #vfxartist #remote #onsite #mumbai #london #animation #hr #fake

🚨 Indian VFX Industry 🚨 The current scenario in the VFX industry is quite dynamic. It's encouraging to see companies abroad hiring for various roles, indicating a large number of movies in production. However, the situation in Bollywood is concerning. Many films are not in the lineup due to the poor performance of previously released movies. The Indian VFX industry can only thrive if there's a substantial increase in both Hollywood outsourcing and Bollywood movie production, as this creates a healthy balance of work within the industry. A major issue is that only a few artists are actively working in VFX right now, while many have shifted to other fields. This shift negatively impacts the overall skill level within the industry. When the industry eventually picks up, companies may prefer to hire freshers or junior artists, as experienced professionals might have settled into other careers and may not want to return. Convincing these experienced artists to come back could create chaos in the industry. Companies would likely negotiate salaries downwards due to the demand and supply dynamics. Another concern is the high number of VFX artists being produced by institutes relative to the available work in the industry. While it can be argued that only the best-skilled artists should get jobs, the reality is that Indian VFX artists are full of potential and possess brilliant minds. This leads to an oversupply of manpower, yet the demand for work remains stagnant. It seems the industry is struggling, and returning to its pre-COVID state appears nearly Let's pray for the best! 🙏🙏🙏

🎥✨ From Sketches to Screen: My Journey to VFX Production Manager Years ago, I found myself doodling in the margins of my textbooks, dreaming of a world where my imagination would come to life on screen. Little did I know that those simple illustrations would spark a passion that would guide my career in visual effects. Fast forward a few years— internships, long nights, and countless cups of coffee later—I discovered that VFX is not just about stunning visuals; it’s about collaboration, leadership, and bringing the best out of a team of talented artists. Stepping into the role of a VFX Production Manager wasn’t just about managing schedules and budgets. It was about fostering an environment where creativity flourishes, where challenges are met with solutions, and where every team member feels valued. 🎬 Here are three lessons I’ve learned on this journey: 1.Listen more than you speak: The best ideas often come from the most unexpected places. 2.Embrace the chaos: Every project has its hurdles.Staying adaptable is key. 3.Celebrate every win: Big or small, acknowledging achievements keeps the momentum alive! To everyone on a similar path, remember: Every frame is a stepping stone. Keep pushing your boundaries, and don’t forget to enjoy the artistic process along the way!

The graduation season is upon us. It's also the time you get approached by eager graduates for job opportunities. The past 18 months have been challenging enough for the industry and all involved in it. Now let’s take a moment to consider students who have spent years studying, inspired by the work of professionals like you, waiting to enter the field. Let's not forget, taking loans, spending their parents' hard earned money and often, moving far away from loved ones. I started similarly 14 years ago and am so grateful to the person who saw my potential and offered me my first job as an FX TD. We all have busy schedules and couldn't possibly speak to every aspiring VFX artist that approached us or accept every invite on LinkedIn. However, if each of us picked one or two students that show promise and helped mentor them, collectively, we could help so many. I’m in conversation with a few such students. I am advising them to continue working on their reels, upload personal projects on platforms, interact on LinkedIn, and prepare for interviews. I am also encouraging them to apply for runner positions, as it serves as an excellent entry into the studio. If you are looking for junior artists or runners, please reach out to me for a few names. I also urge my colleagues to sponsor budding artists. Let's do our best to help. #vfxindustry #recruitment #solidarity
