As far as possible, please ensure you can commit to attending the course. Schedules in post and VFX mean it is hard to fill your place if you drop out at the last minute and places are limited to ensure a high-quality course.

The course is rooted in the day-to-day realities of working in post and VFX and how teams and clients are being asked to work now.

• Understanding your role as problem solvers and experts

• Appreciating your expertise; putting a price on how you add value

• Clarity and challenges in project scoping

• Explaining your thinking: the value of ‘why?’

• Understanding your internal and external client’s POV: the pains / gains spectrum

• What clients really want: top tips for developing effective relationships

• Understanding the value and purpose of different forms of communication: online, ’phone, email

• Negotiating for a win-win; identifying your negotiating style

• Building rapport – the key skill for any negotiation

• Preparation – identifying your BPO (Best Possible Outcome) and Plan B

• The essential skills: active listening, asking open questions and paraphrasing to check understanding

• Identifying suitable trade-offs

• Helpful phrases and questions – what to say and what NOT to say

• Identifying the red flags – when to seek support

• Your take-aways: summarising what you have learned and what you intend to put into practice as a result of the training.

We always welcome applications from under-represented groups, including, but not limited to those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds; people with a disability; people from the LGBTQ+ community and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. We offer inclusive training. If you have any needs which we can accommodate during the recruitment process and beyond, please let us know and we will be happy to work with you to meet them.

Taking part in the EVCOM Aspirational women in the corporate film sector podcast

It was a pleasure to be part of the panel for this webinar organised by EVCOM with the other inspiring panelists Sara Cooper (Plastic Pictures), Catherine Peters (EVERFI), Rachel Pendered (Media Zoo), and Rebecca Denholm (Embolden), who shared their expertise in a discussion facilitated by Claire Fennelow (EVCOM).

If you missed it, you can catch up with a recording of the session here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjZX7HrWWrw&feature=emb_imp_woyt

We shared thoughts on gender equality and our own journeys as they relate to the corporate film industry in a discussion facilitated by Claire Fennelow (EVCOM).

The discussion covered the way that the industry has changed over the years in terms of its relationship to equality and inclusion, and the areas where it still has a way to go. The panelists shared experiences dealing with stress, mental health, crises of confidence and imposter syndrome, as well journeys overcoming certain hurdles. Panelists exchanged the best advice they’ve ever been given, and delivered a message to their younger selves that they wished someone had given them at the time.

Client relationship & negotiating skills course for VFX is a success online

Back in 2018 Angela was approached by ScreenSkills, the UK trade body for the screen-based industries, to develop and run a series of face-to-face workshops for VFX and Post teams on developing effective client relationship and negotiating skills. After a research phase involving conversations with owner, managers, producers, and production co-ordinators from a wide range of companies, the first tranche of course was run in London, Glasgow, Manchester, and Bristol. It was decided to run separate course for VFX and Post teams to meet their specific needs and commercial circumstances.

Based on the very positive anonymous quantitative and qualitative feedback, the course was then re-commissioned by ScreenSkills numerous times. Word of mouth recommendations about the value of the course spread quickly and the courses were usually oversubscribed.

Going online as teams work from home

Fast forward to May 2020 it was agreed to re-run the courses virtually based on the needs of VFX teams working from home. The virtual sessions, delivered by Zoom were very successful and oversubscribed, so a further series was run in Autumn 2020.

Developing the course to make it even more effective

No course should stand still. The course has been developed and improved from the contributions and experiences of every single participant. One specific additional change, that made the courses even more effective, was the addition of a one to one follow up mentor call with Angela for each participant, helping them to embed the changes they had agreed to implement as part of the course and to troubleshoot challenges.  

Who took part?

VFX studios who have put teams through public and bespoke courses include: Axis VFX, Cinesite, Framestore, Industrial Light & Magic, VineVFX, Lexhag, Evolutions, DNeg, Molinare, Union VFX, MPC, Glassworks, Milk VFX, Technicolor and many others.  

Job titles of those who have attended courses include: VFX Line Producer, VFX Producer, VFX Bidding Producer, VFX  Production Coordinator, Associate VFX Producer, Junior VFX Producer & VFX PA.

Participant responses from recent online courses

‘ An eye-opener of different techniques to use in different situations  - thank you!’

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

The original course continues to develop and adapt - to the needs of different roles in Post and VFX, and to help teams meet the challenges of changing working patterns including hybrid working from both office and home. As client demands ramp up, and the brilliance of the UK VFX, post and animation scene continues to be appreciated, especially by US studios, the need to develop effective client relationship and negotiating skills will only continue.

Supporting agencies during lock down - we are here to help

Since March 16th we've had pro-bono conversations with many agencies to help in business planning during the pandemic. Conversations covered cash, people, clients, & comms in that order. As time moves on comms and action is essential. I can tell any agency that silence now is not golden. If I look at an agency's profile via website and social media feeds and see nothing about their response to Covid-19 I feel really worried for them. Because silence on the greatest issue to affect a generation implies what exactly? We're no longer in business? We don't know what to do or say? We don't care? None of these are a good look for those whose expertise is communication. Yes, you may be in very difficult circumstances. Or, maybe optimistically you are so busy supporting pro-active clients that it is business as usual. But nothing about this situation is usual. You need to be part of the conversation and demonstrate how you are part of the solution. You owe it to your people, clients and community to explain what you are doing and how you can help. Because the agencies that are communicative, positive and pro-active now are the ones that clients will trust even more and come bouncing back. The offer of a pro-bono conversation is still there - we can kick-start action and support you. Please do get in touch with Angela: angelalaw@everysense.co.uk

How will Covid-19 Change the Content Production Industry? Listen to the Podcast
