Im Gespräch mit Dom Schott erzählt Lukas von seinem eigenen, bunten Portfolio, dem Wert von Experimentierfreudigkeit in der Spieleentwicklung und wie er sich inmitten einer Branche fühlt, die regelmäßig von Turbulenzen durchgeschüttelt wird.

Großes Tennis: Wir fallen mit THE FALL GUY, reisen mit dem MARS EXPRESS, haben Probleme mit CHALLENGERS und vergießen für ARTHUR DER GROSSE ein Tranchen. Zudem blicken wir in die nächste Woche, in der es eine Wiederaufführung von STAR WARS - EPISODE 1: DIE DUNKLE BEDROHUNG geben wird und einen neuen Kinder-Grusler namens KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. Allein damit könnten Antje, Andi, Timo und Schröck eigentlich schon eine Sendung füllen, denn es gibt eine Menge Redebedarf zu den einzelnen Titeln. Aber es gibt eben auch noch eine gute Menge an Streaming- und Mediatheken-Tipps. Zum Beispiel die beiden Exklusiv-Titel CITY HUNTER (2024) und LAND OF BAD. Dann sind jetzt auch endlich mal DER ALPINIST, die Liebesgeschichte ALL OF US STRANGERS und das Mantel und Degen-Update DIE DREI MUSKETIERE: D'ARTAGNAN leichter verfügbar, was durch die überraschend unterhaltsame (und explizite) Komödie JOY RIDE: THE TRIP abgerundet wird. Darüber hinaus bieten unsere öffentlich-rechtliche Programm so schöne Titel wie SERPICO, EL MARIACHI oder das DAS SCHWEIGENDE KLASSENZIMMER an. während die GANGS OF NEW YORK bei ARTE ihr Unwesen treiben, DIE ABENTEUER VON TIM UND STRUPPI noch ein wenig auf sich warten lassen und mit FLUCHT AUS PRETORIA auch noch ein kleiner Geheim-Tipp auf Euch wartet. Und mit einem kleinen Schwenker ins Thema „Fleisch” wird natürlich auch noch über das schwadroniert, was die Vier zuletzt gesehen haben. Also geht es noch mal kurz um GODZILLA × KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE, aber auch um SIEBEN, HANNIBAL, SUCCESSION, TRUE LIES oder IT FOLLOWS. Und bevor Daniel noch mal ein wenig über MEIN PARTNER MIT DER KALTEN SCHNAUZE schwärmen darf, führt LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL auch noch eine kleine KI-Diskussion herbei, da jetzt gerade vermehrt wieder Produktionen aufgetaucht sind, die nicht ganz so zuversichtlich stimmen oder eben zur Vorsicht aufrufen. Dazu wird es dann auch nächste Woche noch mal ein bisschen mehr geben, wenn wir einen VFX-Artist aus Hollywood zu Besuch haben. Vorher und bis dahin wünschen wir Euch aber erstmal viel Vergnügen mit dieser Folge, sowie im Kino oder auf der Couch. Bleibt gesund und gut drauf und hoffentlich bis spätestens nächste Woche. Cheerio! Diese Folge Kino Plus wird unterstützt von EMP. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode's guest is Michaela Weissburg, an LA native. Mickie and I worked briefly together at a media organization in the YouTube space.After working in the field for 6 years, Michaela's experience in VFX production management has given her depth as well as breadth of knowledge. From zombies, to vampires, to aliens, to dragons, there has been no shortage of cool stuff for her to work on.And while not all of it is exciting, she takes pride in her small efforts to create a product that ends up being greater than the sum of its parts. It all starts with a story, a lot of teamwork, and a little bit of magic.

Freelance is such a big topic in visual effects! For those of you starting in the industry, you're probably wondering how to get your foot in the door. Ultimately, 2024 will be a very busy year. That means that those of you who are good should be ready to turn down work.  The first thing you need to think about is how you're positioning yourself in the business: What are the special skills that you have that allow you to stand out from others? We are in a problem solving business. Positioning means that you know how to sell yourself – by providing solutions to the potential employer – as well as understand your worth. You need to be aware of what you bring to the table and how to sell yourself. (That also means that you're aware of what you're not good at, which gives you room for improvement.) You also need to understand the needs of your employer. You show that understanding by providing a reel that sums up your best work – and is very heavily catered to the specific task that the employer is looking to fill. In addition, your cover letter must mention the position you're applying for and your understanding of what the position entails. That allows you to position yourself as the go-to person for this role. In this Episode, you'll learn about: How to create a winning reel that guarantees a chance for a job interview; Where to find available work – and how to apply for those jobs; How to do successful outreach to potential employers or human resources departments; How to identify the most in-demand skills and innovate in new technology. One of the advantages of 2024 is widely available remote job opportunities. That means that you can live anywhere. By living in a cheaper area, you're able to lower your overhead and actually enjoy your lifestyle. That also means that nowadays you can work for any studio you want. Remember: It's not just about being skilled as a VFX Artist – it's about the right artist for the right job, at the right time. In this Podcast, Allan McKay gives critical insight into how to find remote work and freelance work in 2024, how to be successful at outreach to potential employers, how to create a winning reel that guarantees employment, how to work for a dream studio remotely – and so much more!

Some people argue that you can't make more than $50K in VFX. Others compare their lives to the curated lifestyles on social media and demand to get paid more. It really comes down to your WHY: Why do you need more cash? The quickest pay rise you can give yourself is figuring out your budget. It's better to figure out your finances and take control of your money. And if you still want to earn more money, you need to understand the industry you're in and what it pays people. That being said, you can earn bigger numbers in VFX. If you want to earn more, you have to rethink the whole process. Recently, I was offered a Director position on a AAA game. Working in video games, you can make extra cash either in bonuses or by having a side hustle. If you were to start to think about dealing with things on a bigger level – as a studio – you can start to understand the process.  As a VFX Supervisor and previously a Producer and Studio Owner, I understand budgets. When Producers create budgets, they don't have the money allocated yet. Once vendors submit their bids, Producers sit down and figure out what the budget for a project might be and the number of artists they need to hire. Then they worry about their margins, their expenditures and profit. The Producers on the client side don't scrutinize the details. All they care about – is deliverables. That allows you to rethink the process by changing the way you charge your rate. Now, you could go work at the same place your entire life. If you take that linear career trajectory,  you end up waiting for a pay rise every year. If making more money is all you're after, you need to examine a few things:  First of all, ask yourself if you're in the right industry?  If you do want to do it in VFX, can you create a side hustle? Do you see yourself launching your own studio? Can you move from the vendor to the client side of VFX? If you want to make money by simply doing VFX, you need to get creative. I've talked about this in the past: There is no limit to how much money you can make in visual effects! Ask yourself the question: How do the people who pay me – pay themselves? Once you understand that, you can position yourself in a way that justifies the money you want to make. In this Podcast, Allan McKay busts the myth that a VFX Artist cannot make a lot of money in visual effects and gives his insight as a VFX Supervisor, Producer and Studio Owner about how you can make a lot more money in this business.

At the beginning of your VFX career, things can seem so hard and so stressful. As a junior VFX Artist, you may feel like everyone is out to get you. Here are some powerful mindset shifts that will change your outlook and how you feel about your career. A lot of artists have a struggling artist mentality. Once you understand that you're in a commercial industry – and you are a commercial industry of Hollywood movies and AAA games – you also understand that your client's vision is the most important. It is your job to deliver the result. As a VFX artist, you are in a service industry. Which means that your project is a director's vision and you have to respect that. Another shift happens when you over-communicate everything. You have to communicate to your Producers or Heads of 3D – where you are in your progress and where you're storing the files. It's a great habit to get into the habit of communicating that information at the end of the day, via an email. That way you're creating a massive log of your work. Another part of effective communication is building a visual language. Directors can communicate in different ways. As a VFX artist, you need to learn to use reference images, mood boards and other visual tools to get your message across.  It is also crucial to see the big picture from the very beginning. So as an artist, you have to start with broad strokes. After you understand the importance of blocking the beats out in animation, for example. You can dial things back early on – and only then start zeroing in on details. Which also means that you share your work early on. You should also get used to foreseeing the needs of the client – by giving them options in response to their notes. Learning how to critique your own work is the most valuable thing you can do. That will change everything for you. You will start taking pride in your work. It'll also help you anticipate the next creative changes a client might request next. But most importantly, you must take pride in everything that you touch! It is the most important metric for you as an artist and team member! In this career advice, Allan McKay talks about the mindset shifts that will propel your VFX career forward: from learning that you're in a service industry to seeing the big picture; from learning to communicate to anticipating the client's or the director's needs; from learning to critique your own work – to, most importantly, taking pride in everything you touch!

At long last, we welcome longtime friend and multi-hyphenate filmmaker, Kays Al-Atrakchi to the Cinepod! Kays feels there are film composers who love music and composers who simply love movies. He himself absolutely loves all things film. Born in Florence, Italy, Kays started to get interested in music as a kid and picked up a soundtrack to Dario Argento's Inferno in a local record store because he liked how the cover looked. It didn't sound like anything he'd ever heard before, and he decided to listen to more movie soundtracks. Then he bought the soundtrack for John Carpenter's Escape From New York, and found he could replicate the soundtrack on his keyboard at home. His only connection to Dario Argento and John Carpenter was through the music, since he wasn't able to see their movies. As a teen, Kays' family moved from Italy to Orlando, Florida. He continued to pursue his love of film, music, and composition, and attended Berklee College of Music to learn film scoring. He began scoring student films in Orlando, where he met future friends and collaborators Ben Rock, Dan Myrick, Ben Hershleder, and many others before relocating to Los Angeles. He has composed the soundtracks for several of Ben's movies, including Alien Raiders. For Kays, composing is more about interpreting someone's vision and trying to elevate it, and to create through music an emotional connection with the audience. Kays felt unfulfilled as a filmmaker, so between film scoring jobs, he decided to make his own short, Appntmnt, followed by another short, In Lucidity. For In Lucidity, Kays simply didn't have the budget to hire someone to create all the visual effects he wanted, so he taught himself how to do all the special effects and color grading by watching YouTube videos. Filmmaking technology has progressed so much, he feels confident that with enough time and self-education, a filmmaker can learn any aspect of moviemaking. Kays loves the collaborative nature of film, but as an independent filmmaker, he finds he has to do the bulk of the work on his projects alone out of necessity rather than a desire to work solo. He enjoys sharing what he's learned and has created Right Brained Tutorials, a YouTube channel for other filmmakers to learn visual effects. Kays' latest short horror directing project, Everbliss Inn, will be streaming in November. Kays wrote, directed, composed the music, color graded, and created the VFX for the film. You can hear original theme music by Kays throughout The Cinematography Podcast.
