A Careers talk by Gary Brozenich
At the end of January the senior school were very lucky to have Gary Brozenich – an Academy Award nominated VFX Supervisor, visit the school to give a careers talk about working in the Visual Effects industry. Originally an artist he later discovered a passion for special visual effects in film, despite having to learn all of the various computer-based skills required after leaving Art School.
In addition to overseeing visual effects work on Disney’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, he was also Overall VFX Supervisor on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Ridley Scott’s All The Money in the World.
In 2014, he was honored with the Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects for his work as Production VFX Supervisor on Disney’s The Lone Ranger. In his presentation he explained in great detail all of the various roles open to young people interested in a career working with special digital effects, and it was very impressive to see the wide range of visual effects shots he has worked on in a very varied and wide ranging career.
Many of our media and art students were pleased to have the opportunity to ask questions and chat with Gary at the end of the presentation, and left with their imaginations fuelled by the prospects of working in the film industry.
