Description
In this episode, we chat to Rebecca Holdstock, senior matchmove and rotomation artist at Cinesite London about her VFX career, spiralling over a decade in some of London's well known and biggest studios, through to becoming a mother of two and the change that comes with being a working mother.I had the privilege of working with Rebecca at Cinesite on The Witcher season 2, and for the first time in my life, I was working with a mother, who was signing on in the middle of the day, on a customised working hours.This blew my mind, and triggered my interest in the topic to which we sat down to discus. Becoming a working mother, or choosing to become a working mother in any industry is often times a big challenge and decision that affects women in all sorts of life and industries. Whilst Rebecca's story focuses on the VFX industry, it very much is relatable to all women and working mothers in every industry, and will be for every generation to come.It therefore is a rightful and important subject to be discussing and brining it to light, to create awareness, and hopefully encourage and or prepare other women in the VFX and wider working industries.Chapters00:00:00 Ident 00:00:05 Introductions 00:01:40 A bit about Rebecca 00:02:31 Journey into the VFX industry 00:09:32 Getting foot in the door of the VFX industry 00:13:19 Settling in the Matchmove department 00:23:49 Motherhood and being an artist in the VFX industry 00:31:59 Managing kids and shots during early days of covid 00:51:46 Planing to start a family, vs having kids unexpectedly 00:54:10 What can be improved for women working in the VFX industry 01:03:15 Advice to any artists looking to start a family 01:05:59 What should women look out for, when applying to join a VFX studio 01:10:51 Conclusion As always, if you liked this episode, please like, comment, subscribe and share!Listen to all episodes on our websitehttps://www.thevfxartistspodcast.com/#vfxindustry #workingmom #vfxartist
