The Framestore Podcast, our learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore, is back this week where we're taking a short Summer break with a series of REWIND special episodes, where we go back in time and revisit some of our favourite episodes of the pod.

For this instalment we are going back to Episode 14!

Originally aired on Monday 20th February 2023, we met with Visual Effects Supervisor and Creative Director, Russell Dodgson, who had recently delivered the incredible third and final season of Philip Pullman’s 'His Dark Materials'.

Joining as co-host at the time was Sana Rehman, VFX Production Coordinator, who has since been promoted to VFX Line Producer!

We discuss the 'people game' of being a VFX Supervisor, how the things that you do outside of your work often define what it is you love about your job, the importance of having 'imposter syndrome' and recognising that you may not always be the smartest person in the room.

As well as reflecting on 5 years on His Dark Materials, we also reminisce on a love of DVD extras, breakdancing, Thai boxing, and a career peppered with incredible micro-mentors.

This was famously the first mention of the idea of 'micro mentors', and has come up many times on the pod since!

Anyway, let’s turn back the clock and go back to February last year with Russell Dodgson and Sana Rehnman.

Enjoy!
