Learning to lead and manage made me happy!
I remember the first time I became the only pipeline TD for a company counting 60 artists working on 3 different projects. My predecessor just left to go to Weta Digital and I inherit a huge project and a lot of responsibilities. The first months were extremely stressful. Every time someone came to my desk I was afraid they had a major issue and couldn’t work. Since I mostly interacted with leads this meant the whole department couldn’t work. It wasn’t something I wanted to experience.
What could you do?
I decided to approach the whole situation from a different perspective and I applied what I learned from scripting: “Every problem is a challenge and it takes as long as it takes.” Additionally I responded more calmly since most artists came with problems and were sometimes in (deadline) stress. “We will solve it somehow!” was my mantra. This made people more relaxed and we solved most problems much quicker.
In the last few years I worked as a Technical Director at Weta Digital, Framestore, Mackevision, Studio Soi (lead), ArtFx, CGMA and many more. There I had the chance to lead and guide artists, producers, other TDs and developers to arrive at the same goal while absorbing the ways and methods of other great leaders. So now it is your turn.
Lead the way!
