  We are holding a Filmbase Crew Catch-Up on Saturday 7th November in Manchester city centre, from 11.30am to 2pm.

  This will be a chance for crew members to come together, to network, talk about the industry, jobs, rates, and just to ask advice if there's anything we can help with!

  We're teaming up with the Graphics Union on this one, so any Filmbase and Graphics Union members are welcome to come along - please drop by whenever suits!  

  Rob from Filmbase will be there and so will Lead Graphic Designer Thomas Love, who is co-chair of the Graphics Union.  

  We hope you can join us for coffee/brunch and a chat. The exact venue will be emailed to you before the event.

  The event is free for Filmbase and Graphics Union members. If you'd like to join Filmbase, click here.

  Our next Filmbase session - sponsored by Compuhire - is with VFX Art Director and Senior Art Director Claire Fleming. 

  Claire is currently VFX Art Director on all four of the highly anticipated Beatles biopics, and her recent credits include Digger, as Supervising Art Director, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 as Art Director.

  Much of her work has been in VFX - she was VFX Mo Cap Art Director on Ready Player One, and was VFX Art Director on Terminator: Dark Fate and The Witches. She also worked as Supervising VFX Art Director at Epic Games developing films.

  So Claire is well-placed to explain what VFX work entails and how you get into it.

  Claire will start the webinar with a short show-and-tell, demonstrating some of the VFX work she has done.

  We’ll also be asking Claire about her experiences of directing no less than eight short films. She started out as an Art Department Runner in 2007 and will have great advice for those looking for their first credits now.

  Whether you’re just starting out or looking to develop your career in Art Directing or VFX Art Directing, this is a fantastic opportunity to gain insight from an experienced industry professional.

  We'll be talking to Claire from 1.15pm to 1.45pm on Friday 20th November, over Zoom.

  Sign up for the session below. You can submit a question if there's anything specific you'd like Claire to answer.

  Many thanks to our partner Compuhire for sponsoring this webinar.  

  The webinar is FREE for Filmbase members and £10 for non-members. If you'd like to become a Filmbase member, click here.
