Solving the Producer Problem with RevThink

Author: School of Motion: Design & Animation Training for MoGraph Artists December 15, 2021 Duration: 1:03:19

The motion graphics industry is in the middle of a massive talent crunch, but the hidden issue plaguing many studios isn't where to find a Houdini artist or where their next job is coming from—it's what to do with the jobs once the artist is in-house! How did this shortage of talented Producers come to happen? We sat down with veteran industry consultants Joel Pilger and Tim Thompson to  find a solution to the producer problem. Don't miss this one!


Tune into the School of Motion Podcast for a genuine look behind the scenes of the motion design industry. Created by the team at School of Motion, this series goes far beyond simple software tutorials, though you’ll certainly find deep dives into tools like After Effects and Cinema 4D. The real value lies in conversations with the people shaping the field-from working animators and 3D artists to producers and studio owners. Each episode explores the intricate balance between creative artistry and practical business, offering insights that are as useful for freelancers as they are for those leading creative teams. Whether you’re firmly established in your career or just 3D-curious, this podcast provides a thoughtful space to learn about craft, workflow, and sustaining a creative practice. It’s a resource that feels like having a direct line to the collective wisdom of a vibrant community, all dedicated to the art of making things move.
