Zoom Chat: 24th May 2022

Over a period of time, I have been e-mailing various animation studios about possible work or internships. And I have surprisingly been receiving responses and offers to have a quick chat over zoom.

Steve Waugh is the Creative Director at Coffee and Tea TV, he moved to London and worked as a runner at Mainframe and then Prime Focus.

We had an interesting conversation about the industry. I relayed to him that I was wrestling with the idea of becoming a producer or a visual development artist. He said that it would be very unique for a producer to have a ‘visual development eye’. So, that made me really reflect. I have a lot of skills and experience in production management, and I love to organise. If that opportunity is in a creative animation setting, I believe I would thrive.

‘100% recommend learning AE. From tech point of view, I’d know that inside out.’

He was very interested in my work and put me on a list to work with Coffee and Tea Media in the future. We connected on LinkedIn.
