FEMA's Incident Management Assistance Teams (IMAT) are rapidly deployable assets that provide the federal government's initial coordination and response capability prior to and in the immediate hours following a serious incident. IMATs are response-oriented and deploy in support of the state, local, tribal and territorial government efforts to save lives, protect property, and provide life-sustaining services to meet basic individual and community needs or in support of another lead federal agency, as directed, for non-Stafford Act incidents. IMATs are designed to remain onsite through the stabilization of an incident and effectively transition responsibilities to follow-on personnel in order to reconstitute for subsequent missions.FEMA maintains three national IMATs, one collateral national IMAT to supplement the other national teams, and 13 regional IMATs geographically located within all 10-regional headquarters. National teams are trained for Level I events (requiring an extreme amount of federal assistance for response and recovery efforts) and regional teams are trained for Level II events (requiring a high amount of federal assistance). All IMATs are national assets part of a nationwide readiness system, and therefore can be deployed anywhere across the nation, including U.S. territories, to support disasters based on the greatest need. The regional teams typically deploy for any federally declared incidents within their respective regions or in support of complex incidents outside their region, while national teams deploy for larger, more complex events, such as a major hurricane affecting multiple states.Both national and regional IMATs maintain partnerships across all levels of government. IMATs collaborate with state, local, tribal and territorial partners as well as other federal agencies. This collaboration includes supporting Emergency Support Functions, and Recovery Support Functions in preparedness, disaster response, and National Special Security EventsTodd De VoeWebsite - https://toddtdevoe.com/Website- www.crisis-cafe.comSpeak N Spark-https://bit.ly/3sTVUfrLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3sVHL1gEM WeeklyWebsite - https://bit.ly/3jj5ItlTwitter - https://bit.ly/31z8MeXFacebook - https://bit.ly/3dMlbRPLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/2FQDhWdSister ShowsEM StudentWeb - https://bit.ly/2Hw0sFxTwitter - https://bit.ly/31z8MeXFacebook - https://bit.ly/3dMlbRPLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/2FQDhWdThe Business Continuity ShowTwitter - https://bit.ly/3ojEIO2Facebook - https://bit.ly/2Tjqv5HLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/34mXyfzYouTube - https://bit.ly/3mePJyGSponsorsDisaster Tech-https://www.disastertech.com/NDEM Expo-https://www.ndemevent.com/en-us.htmlDoberman EMG-https://www.dobermanemg.com/The Readiness Lab-https://www.thereadinesslab.com/Sitch Radio - https://www.sitchradio.com

Blog Post link: https://battleswithbitsofrubber.com/54-approaching-workshops/ Folio under your arm, at some point you may wish to appeal to those who could give you a job. It's nervewracking to be judged, but your folio is maybe pages of your heart and soul now made visible for others to assess and rate. The main way anyone gets work is simply by having a portfolio of good work and then show that to someone who pays for people like that to solve a problem they have. There isn't a single path or trick to game the system. You are not likely to be given a job you are wholly unsuited to - the work is too precious to those who are looking to hire, and there is a pretty robust system of hiring. Here we discuss some main points to help you get your head straight. Think through what you could mean to them rather than what they can do for you. Listen to the podcast for the full monty, but the key points are listed below! 1.        How much to charge. Know your worth        Know how much it costs you to stand still for a day and do nothing.     How much do people get paid? Check with trade union pay rates for your region to compare and see what is current. 2.        The film industry isn't looking to take you on and train you. It doesn't need another mouth to feed. The machine which is the film industry isn’t looking to take on someone, spend time training them only to have them up sticks and work for someone else. The ‘industry’ isn’t a single entity, so much a mass of small companies, individuals and private interests. For anyone to take a chance on someone unknown, share their contacts, processes and the inner circle is quite a thing to undertake. The risk is you could take that and use what you have learned to help a competitor, so it’s a peculiar situation to be in. 3.        Waiting to be picked.       Someone waiting to be picked V an independent self-starter.         Evidence of motivated and talent.     Show evidence of your desire to do the work. A chef doesn’t require a fully fitted kitchen before making their first omelette – make what you can when you can to the best of your ability. Doing so will give you practice and display your journey to an interested party. The people you are trying to work for are like that and they know their own.  If you want to do it for a living then you should be doing it whatever. 4.        Awareness of the state of the industry.         Do you know about the industry? About current artists names, credits and back story?    We have taught at many places where students didn’t know the masters or even watch films to have an awareness of what went before. This is something your potential employers will notice as they DO know and care about it. How good are those currently working and do you measure up?    What can you do to improve?            What do people pay for? ... People pay to have their problems solved. Whose problems do you solve? Do you know the industry well enough to know that and how you can fit in to it?        What can you provide and where do you fit in the workflow?         5.        Actual ability levels.         Are you an asset or a burden? Are you asking to help them or are you asking them to help you. Conisder their needs first, and how it will shape your approach.          Does your folio show examples of what problems the employer will need you to solve?         6.        How Busy is the film industry right now?      The industry sweeps between crazy busy and deathly quiet. Are they too busy to see your folio?          Not busy means they may have time but they are not hiring either. How can you find out and what questions should you ask? It is easier to turn down an email than a phone call. Hard copy letter is something not too many do so maybe that is an option. You can’t game the system – good work and a good attitude will win. Some will hire because of the right attitude and whether you can fit into the organisation as it currently stands. They will pay for someone who is competent enough to do what is asked. Chances are they already have their key players in place, so they are not looking for a Jedi Master. They need enthusiastic and capable people they can slot into an existing framework and who will do what they are asked to do. 7.        How close do I live near the work?     If you don't, consider the following points. Travel costs     Accommodation costs            Loss of income from previous job you may leave      See it from employers’ point of view Language/visa/immigration issues to consider         8.        Luck. Right place, right time. The harder I work, the more good luck I seem to have.        You can't control your employers or their desire to hire. 9.        People hate 'dear Sir/Madam'           It displays a lack of awareness and disinterest, and laziness. Starting with ‘Hey everyone’ or ‘Dear Sir/Madam’ just smacks of cut and paste, and nobody wants evidence that you have cut as many corners as possible as to not even check to see how your enquiry is coming across. When I read this, I am not 'everyone'. Remember, a single person is reading this at any one time so address them as such. Don’t show your employer that you are lazy in the very first contact. Research who you are writing to. 10.      Offering to work for free. You are going up against people trying to make a living so few of your colleagues will think well of that strategy. Endless supply of newbies who think it’s a viable strategy but the essence is to get free training and opportunities in exchange for no pay. The cost to the employer is babysitting fees and stress, so not always a good deal for them. If you have competence then you should get paid for that. If you have no competence then maybe you shouldn’t be there. Taking work for no fee v covering material costs. Not to subsidise/finance the production. Working for free in order to gain experience and et something out of it, going in knowing this and not being taken advantage of. Maybe good experience and folio building but limit these jobs, and be wary of taking a paying job from someone by offering to work for free. 11.      Security, NDA's and outsider risk.        Relatively new phenomena which didn't affect those running shops when they started out.        Stolen phones, inadvertent plot spoilers, production protecting their investment. Can you be trusted or do you have a history of revealing every facet of your life online which may deter an employer.     If you seem to blab about every injustice you have perceived then as someone who may have to tell you to get stuff done, I am going to wonder if you will hate on me publicly and so that’s not a good quality to have in someone who I will need to have my back. Discretion is a desirable quality. 12.      Unions.        Does a union control the work and are you permitted?       BECTU in the UK. The IATSE in North America is more effective as a union. Unions protect workers and maintain pay and conditions but the trade off is it isn’t an easy path or an open door. The flip side is an unregulated workforce in which good people wouldn’t stand out in a listing. 13.      Look out for cons and being taken advantage of.   Paid/subscriptions/services to find work       Non-payment and getting ripped off. Starting out, eager to please but don’t agree to unreasonable. If you are not experienced enough to know what reasonable is then maybe you are too green to be taking commissions. Work for someone else and earn your chops.   14.      So what should I do to get my work seen? Do good work and present good, clear images. Digital folios are essential but consider a hard copy. These are people who sculpt after all, and like tactile objects.   Keep a list of who you contacted, when, who you spoke to and what was said. Follow up on any advice or information. Be on time. Try and meet people at trade shows and events such as The Prosthetics Event, IMATS and other gatherings related to your area f interest. Remember, you can't trick your way into work. You either have the chops or you don't. Good work gets seen and noticed. If you need to improve, then sink your energy into that rather than aggressive campaigns of hustling. Keep a professional social media profile and post good work regularly. Be persistent and polite. Once again, thank for listening.

This morning I’m tucked away with my friend Hannah at her house in South East London. She’s one of the industry’s most well respected make-up artists and her breadth of work spans just about everything. She’s widely known for her work with many of the royals. For years she worked with Bobbi Brown herself as part of the Global Leadership Team at the brand. She teaches make-up, regularly works with celebrity clients and at fashion week, or hosting masterclasses for the likes of IMATS, Delamar Academy and Vogue. Today she has kindly trusted me with the story of how she lost her beloved mother, and her grief journey.

At IMATS London 2019, I sat and had a great chat with Rick from Bolton University. For those that may not be aware, a breif Rick bio: "Richard is a senior lecturer and Programme Leader of the Special Effects for Film and TV degree at the University of Bolton. He’s been teaching at the university for several years and specialises in character work, in both the prosthetic make-up effects and model-making fields. " In the episode, we talk about the massive effect 3D printing and technology is having on what was previously a traditional skills area. What is cool is that new blood is coming in, taking on board the new tech and learning old skills for the first time in equal measure, making something new and quite special as a result. He is an interesting chap and has, I think you will agree, a very good voice for radio! Give us a listen and let us know what you think. Incidentally, all the lecturers at Bolton have been doing great work there for years, making a real impact on the quality of work and competence the students leave with. The lecturers and support crew in all the courses at Bolton have been so generous and supportive, they really do deserve a shout out. We recently collaborated with various mentors to support their recent Island of Dr Moreau project which was filmed this past week. More on this exciting collaboration with Matt Winston from the incredible Stan Winston Character School of Character Arts here. In it, we discuss various things, and I mention a He-Man and a Skeletor suit made for a Money Supermarket commercial built by Legacy FX. Check out the cool behind the scenes video of David Monzingo, Brian Best and Myself wrangling suits for the commercial shoot in London here. I was lucky enough to help out just for a day - David and the Legacy FX team handled the build and full shoot days - it was a blast!   Todd and I chatted about safer mould materials, which is great for anyone with limited workshop access, open spaces and extraction. This led to an interesting discussion about comparing plaster and resin use in the UK and USA for mould making. The materials we mentioned were acrylic polymers to be used with Gypsum, and sound similar in regards to mixing and properties: Jesmonite by Jesomite Acrylic Plaster Polymer by Alec Tiranti Forton MG by Smooth-On Acrylic One by Active Composite Technologies We also discuss the workspaces used by students in makeup schools and colleges, measuring accuracy in CAD and ZBrush and the amazing work of Landon Meier. If you haven't seen his stuff, it really is incredible and you can do a lot worse for entertainment than check out his stuff here: http://www.hyperflesh.com/ This article is also entertaining: https://www.greatbigstory.com/stories/this-guy-makes-the-world-s-most-convincing-masks His Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hyperfleshdude/ His YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/disgustedbaby Correction - In the podcast at 19:03 it was Monsterpalooza 2018 we did the Bela Lugosi application - not IMATS as I said. D'oh! Have a splendid week! We shall return soon. Kind regards --- Stuart & Todd.

February 4, 2017 - For the second time ever, I interviewed someone twice! This time, it was Steve Johnson while he was signing his book Rubberhead at Dark Delicacies in Burbank, CA. I picked up a copy of the book while at IMATS, and have read it already. It's incredible and such a fun read! Steve and I discussed Rubberhead Volume 2, as well as the audiobook and much more!

January 15, 2017 - Ve Neill is an incredible, multiple award-winning makeup artist, and someone who I both admire and am inspired by. It was incredible to chat with her about IMATS, Galaxy Quest, and much more!

January 15, 2017 - Michael Westmore is the man behind countless aliens of all shapes and sizes from his work on Star Trek. He's also the patriarch of a family that has been a part of Hollywood since the first studio in 1917. I'm so honored that he was willing to speak to me about his family for this podcast.

January 15, 2017 - While at IMATS, I had the chance to speak with Greg Cannom after his panel celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the beloved vampire flick The Lost Boys. He's incredible, and has given so much to the entertainment industry. I'm in awe that he even spoke to me at all!

January 15, 2017 - Makeup artist Amber Talarico knows how hard it can be to follow your passion and work in the entertainment industry. She made a documentary called What It Takes to show how anyone starting on their path, especially makeup artists, can have a hard road ahead, but perserverence is the key to following that path. 

January 14, 2017 - Kato DeStefan is always fun to talk with, and in this podcast, we talked about IMATS's 20th Anniversary and his work on various shows including Teen Wolf, NCIS, and (my personal favorite) Dig.

January 14, 2017 - Oscar-winning makeup artist Joel Harlow and I had a lovely chat at IMATS about his work on Star Trek: Beyond, IMATS' 20th Anniversary, and Michael Key. It's really interesting; check it out!

January 15, 2017 - Mike Elizalde is a makeup artist who's worked on many projects that I love. One of them just so happens to be Netflix's Stranger Things. We discussed that and more in this podcast.

January 14, 2017 - I'm spending this weekend at IMATS - the International Makeup Artist Trade Show - and garnered this fantastic interview with the man who created both Makeup Artist Magazine and IMATS itself, Michael Key! He gave a fantastic interview! Take a listen and enjoy!

January 14, 2017 - Allan Apone is such an incredible person. I interviewed him for the second time while at IMATS in his Mel Products booth. His makeup products are incredible, and can be found on sets all over the world!

Rob Smith continues his chat with me about foam latex, blood and other FX related goodies. Also, Todd and I talk about our favorite podcasts, and whether or not the word 'mustard' is actually an expression. Todd and I will be at IMATS 2017, 13th-15th Jan 2017. How about that. Email us at the usual address, stuartandtodd@gmail.com

Rob Burman is a damned nice fella and kindly took some time to share some of his wisdom, and we are all grateful he did. Thanks, Rob!     If you don't know the name 'Burman' then you must be pretty new to the FX world, because frankly the name is as synonymous with makeup and practical effects as The Rolling Stones is to music. (The blog post to accompany this podcast is at http://www.learnmakeupeffects.com/rob-burman/)  ) Rob is a third generation Burman, and the name is found in the credits of some of the most well-known horror and Sci-Fi movies ever shot. Being from the Burman legacy doesn't get you a free ride though - this guy has forgotten more than many will know and has a hefty list of credits to prove it. I mean, he worked on The Thing for crying out loud… …and T2… …and Tremors… …if this doesn't mean anything to you, then we can't be friends. Just sayin'…. Even more, he regularly teaches as a guest tutor, demonstrates at trade shows like IMATs where he regularly blows everyone away with his larger-than-life characters (check out the 'Carl' makeup based on the Pixar movie 'UP') and has some excellent lessons on the Stan Winston School for Character Arts. Known as a great sculptor and teacher, he also has extensive experience with foam latex, which is what we focus mostly on in our podcast. Silicone has been the poster boy material for prosthetics for a while now, and it is an excellent material for prosthetics.  However, foam is not such a squeaky wheel, and as such doesn't get the oil. It never went away, and because of the skill and equipment involved in it's manufacture, many makeup schools don't cover it nearly as much as they should. Rob has taught the manufacture and use of foam latex extensively, and his new laboratory workshops are certainly worth checking out if you are serious about FX!

Rob is always busy working on something, so we were incredibly fortunate to have Todd grab him for an interview where he drops wisdom bombs like they were going out of style. Seriously, grab a coffee, download and listen to this guy because it's worth every minute! As always, we like it when people say nice things about us, so if you enjoy the podcast then please share it with a friend, like us on Facebook and if you can, leave a short review on iTunes. Doesn't need to be a lengthy paragraph, just a few words to show your support, let us know who is listening and it tells iTunes that we have an active community. We are also on Souncloud, Google Play Music, Stitcher and iHeartRadio to name but a few - you can listen online or download to listen on a drive to work or walking the dog. Or whatever animal you may need to walk around the block. Also you can email us directly on stuartandtodd@gmail.com! Thanks for stopping by! Stuart & Todd
