VFX Artist Allan McKay Interviewed on his VFX career with Michael Janda on The Business of Design
300 episodes in the bag!!! I launched the Allan McKay Podcast back at the end of 2014, not knowing where we would be even 6 months from then. But the idea was to share knowledge both from myself, and industry thought leaders - from Visual Effects Supervisors, Digital Artists, Feature Film Directors, Studio owners, VFX Software companies and other innovators. I’ve had guests on ranging from the head of Industrial Light & Magic, The director of the Maze Runner films, Wes Ball - and many other feature film directors. Even the guy who designed Baby Yoda, or the woman that was responsible for creating Jar Jar Binx, or one of the creators of Gollum. We even had Cinefex on the Podcast, Beeple, Chris Do from The Futur Bosslogic and so many other amazing creatives, even a billionaire, sharing business advice for artists. And that’s always been the goal of the Podcast - was to teach artists to have success in their careers, and learn the business and creative sides of being an artist (there is both). And hear from like minded creatives about their experiences. I heard JJ Abrams actually has listened to one or more episodes, which is a huge huge honor! 300 episodes later - the Podcast is in the top 200 on iTunes in the career section. It’s amounted tens of millions of downloads and still going very strong, with an amazing line up of guests and more time and people being put into it’s production. I want to thank everyone who is a listener of the Podcast, I love you all!
