And this time...
...it's the partner episode to our XRtravaganza eXRpert Michael Ternasky Holland. She brings us a step-by-step #howto guide to developing a VR creative piece. Notebooks/pads, fingers on the start-stop-skip[back] buttons because she tells us the A to Z of VR video making. Plus gives us a sneak peek to the 1st anthology piece Nyssa. What's better during #halloween festivities than to be talked through the entire #craft of making the film festival and likely award winning (yes, speaking this into existence) works by the award the Emmy and multi-Webby award winning creative herself. Especially as she asks us not to #beafraid and closes out the episode in such a spectacular way leaving hosts…

And AGAIN the award goes to...does anybody care? In this episode we get into the shiny, sparkling, spectacles known as "award ceremonies" but this time we talk about their relevance and rewards their reputation brings. How do awards shape up in 2021 given the climate and sea change accelerated by the pandemic? Our co-hosts expert VFX Producer, Anne shares her perspective. Then Kenny returns and is bringing his artist energy and views on the system. Diverse candidates have received more exposure but 2021 sees the first MAJOR #asianamerican nominations for the #academyawards. Are the #oscarssowhite? We talk about it.

This is part of a CARES | compilation from Culture in the Craft podcast; Making #createch spaces, diverse places.
We came together to chat as 4 ploy-creative #womxn to tell truths from the industries of #vfx to #xr and #animation to games creation - yup #nfts got a mention too (*check out our Future 5ive episode in the shot notes to get this gag.) Our voices span global locations 🇺🇸/🇨🇳/🇬🇧/🇳🇿 and across generations (#genz #millennial #boomer). So if you DON’T believe the "...we can't find X talent..." excuse. Or the one about the talent "...not being at the *right* calibre [insert: senior] level for X position..." Especially the views on "...X aren't interested in / [or worse] worthy customers of..." Then share this episode with those still unclear on the impact of broadening their talent / top level teams. This is the warm warning.

Culture In the Craft podcast. Making #createch spaces, diverse places.
We’ve had the conversations. We’ve shared the stories. Solidarity has been shown. It’s time to ask “What Next?” for Black experts in the industries of animation, vfx, VR/AR, games & beyond. Our chat is an honest and open perspective of Afro-Caribbean voices coming at this questions from multiple perspectives. We ask: Can we move forward from this point? How the does the lived experience of the diaspora differ from that of continental Africans? Are we missing out on the true impact of making our own art, stories and creative? Why is it important to remember and preserve our history? There’ll be sober moments, some challenges to the narrative and hilarious comments. We show how the Black experience is not a monolith but truly rich in its outlook. To our accomplices : Listen and Learn. To our fellow community : Laugh and lean in (we’ve got/get you and are going for the long game). Black Lives always Matter.

Carmen B. Mason | Stop Motion Animator & Junior Director - Bonus Episode
The resurgence of #animation can’t be ignored. As we enjoy the incredible work coming to our screens we stop, big pun, to share more about #Stopmotion with an incredible artist in the field - Carmen Bromfield Mason.
She has an impressive catalogue of work that includes Shaun the Sheep and Early Man. As a Junior Director working at #AardmanAnimation she’s perfectly placed to give us advice. We caught up with her to chat and get lessons on her approach to getting her foot in the door, hear her views on the state of the stop-motion industry and future opportunities. She explained about the level of detail and dedication involved in bringing characters to life, the impact #VR could have on the entire #workflow and if she partly owns Aardman (as a large stake of it has been handed over to employees). She also reflected on the low numbers of #diverse candidates entering the space, provided us with words of wisdom and much more. Listen and learn. It’s another two-parter. This is the 2nd, bonus, part.
Enjoy your show!

Wesley Louis | Animation Director & Co-Founder (The Line) - Bonus Episode
We're back with the second part of the interview with Wesley Louis, Co-Founder of The Line studio and Animation Director.
His recent animation short, The Mighty Grand Piton, took a familiar story (child meets robot) and remixed it sending shock waves through social media. We had to talk about his work and he told us about the feedback he’d received including one moving reaction. We found out how he balances being a studio Co-Founder and creator for multiple big name brands like Viceland and LeSean Thomas, what unexpected motivators led him to making a career change, what advice he’d give to aspiring/emerging talent, why the story matters and what it means to him to do it #ForTheCulture. This is part two (a bonus) episode so make sure you've listened to part one before checking this out.

Wesley Louis | Animation Director & Co-Founder (The Line)
As diverse storytelling dominates the creative scene we went to one source of all the action to learn about putting your sauce into action - Wesley Louis, Co-Founder of The Line studio and Animation Director.
His recent animation short, The Mighty Grand Piton, took a familiar story (child meets robot) and remixed it sending shock waves through social media. We had to talk about his work and he told us about the feedback he’d received including one moving reaction. We found out how he balances being a studio Co-Founder and creator for multiple big name brands like Viceland and LeSean Thomas, what unexpected motivators led him to making a career change, what advice he’d give to aspiring/emerging talent, why the story matters and what it means to him to do it #ForTheCulture. He shared so much with us that this is going to be a double dose of episodic enlightenment. This being the first and the second will follow next week. Lucky you!

CXC Cares | Diversity & Womxn Creatives
On the last day of Womxn's History Month we wanted to make and take a moment!
We’ve created this episode as a piece to come back to, not just for a month, but in future to support our womxn listeners. Our co-hosts Esther, Amy and Lor connected with the incredible Monique Henry-Hudson to have a conversation as #WOC in the #creative fields. Combining real talk and practical advice from practising women experts at various stages in their careers. Expect to hear questions like, what can you do if you can’t find a space that serves people like you? How to approach networking/career progression on our terms? Plus we talk the small changes that can make a big difference to making spaces more welcoming for people like us.
Enjoy your show.

Awards | Diversity & Awards SZN
And the award goes to...
In this episode we get into the shiny, sparkling, spectacles known as "award ceremonies". How do you get nominated for a coveted industry award? Find out from our co-host and expert VFX artist, Laraib. She shares the story of her #Netflix supported trip to Los Angeles. We look the ways diverse candidates can get more exposure and our feelings on these ideas. Plus we ask also if watching people giving/getting awards is still relevant and come up with some new/alternative awards of our own.
We also share how YOU can suggest what we talk about on the show!

Marvel’s SpiderVerse | Modern Masterpiece & Alt Animation
You've, probably, seen the film and heard the reviews about Marvel's Spider-Man | Into The Spider-Verse.
Well, we take the conversation in a new direction. We ask (and try to answer) the big questions that got creatives and "the culture" hyped about this modern day masterpiece. Will the future of #animation and storytelling forever be changed? How to tell if representation is actually tokenism? Is this a tribute or a love letter? When you know you've seen this film too many times [hint: you can never see this film too many times]. Plus all the hot takes from our round table of creative professionals.
We also share how YOU can suggest what we talk about on the show!
Enjoy your show.

You'll learn how to select your next project & manage costs, start (and maintain) a career as a freelance creative, make any job help you reach your goals, work with people you admire and more. As an educator she explained what key messages she passes on to young people studying creative subjects. As a woman of colour she talked about how she uses this to make ground-breaking work, collaborate and support other #woc in the industry. She also reveals her next project that combines her interdisciplinary skills with new mediums - aka future proofing her craft.
We also share how YOU can suggest what we talk about on the show!
Enjoy your show.

Who are the people (of colour) making Culture in the Craft podcast?
We tell you our podcast origin story with the mission to make creative spaces more diverse spaces. Inspired by going viral, heading to Silicon Valley to represent #womenintech, working on the likes of #BlackMirror or #TheLionKing for clients such as #MarvelStudios, #Disney, #Ebay etc, overcoming #minority parent career expectations, insights from a #WeAreNigerianCreative, the starving artist stereotype, sharing how we're going to help/support you in future episodes and how YOU can suggest what we talk about on the show!
Enjoy your show.
