How well you communicate can dictate how far you will get in your career in VFX and how quickly you get there. But most artist don't think about communication as part of their skill set and are therefore holding themselves back. The good thing is that it's not rocket science and that you can learn to communicate better!

In this episode I give advice on how you can become a better artist by the way you communicate, I give examples of what good and bad communication might look like and if it's appropriate to show some emotions when your shot is omitted.
