Episode 59: VFX Artist Michaela Weissburg
This episode’s guest is Michaela Weissburg, an LA native. Mickie and I worked briefly together at a media organization in the YouTube space.\
After working in the field for 6 years, Michaela’s experience in VFX production management has given her depth as well as breadth of knowledge. From zombies, to vampires, to aliens, to dragons, there has been no shortage of cool stuff for her to work on.
And while not all of it is exciting, she takes pride in her small efforts to create a product that ends up being greater than the sum of its parts. It all starts with a story, a lot of teamwork, and a little bit of magic.
