The Framestore Podcast, our learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore, is back with this weeks second instalment of our 'Heads of CG' Special!

We're back with Heads of CG for Integrated Advertising (IA) at our London and Los Angeles studios: Johannes Sambs and Jessica Groom Shelton. Across both of this weeks instalments we ask Johannes and Jess to tackle the 'Framestore Podcast Dailies' questions together, providing a rare insight into their creative leadership roles.

In today's episode, we tackle common myths about working in VFX, including how Jess often has to correct friends and family who mistakenly assume she's a graphic designer! Johannes clears up the misconception that Heads of CG have "certain powers," and together they explore how visual effects are everywhere—both visible and invisible.

We explore the roots of Imposter Syndrome, highlighting how it's something everyone experiences to some extent. Jess and Johannes connect over their love for The LEGO Movie, a project Jess worked on during her time at Animal Logic. We also mention influential mentors and offer some valuable career advice.

Enjoy!
