Behind The Desk with Hugo Guerra | TVAP EP47
Hugo Guerra, Director, VFX supervisor, and creator of Hugo's Desk.
In this episode, Kofi chats to Hugo about his career in the VFX industry. Uncovering decisions and steps that have made Hugo the Director and Supervisor he is today.
With an incredible industry footprint, Hugo has a huge voice across the VFX industry, and I felt it quite relevant to learn more about the man behind the glasses, or as our title says, 'Behind The Desk'.
In this episode, we discuss the creative and VFX industry in Portugal, and Sweden, remote working, industry overtime, Hugo's VFX journey in London during his time at The Mill, mistakes VFX artists to make when looking for work, steps they could take to protect themselves from being taken advantage of, best video games, movies, series of 2022, industry-wide issues, how we could tackle them, and many more.
It was a packed and insightful discussion worth listening to the end, as well as one to be shared!
A massive thank you to Hugo for his time and for being such a gem to the industry.
