In late March 2022, we brought together artists, technologists, and partners for Beyond Imagination, a free five-day virtual festival featuring live demos, panel discussions, podcasts, and more.
To an outsider, Technicolor Group’s footprint across the post-production industry can be incredibly confusing. We know better than anyone that insight into life at one of our four studios can often leave room for the imagination.
So, what does the day-to-day of a Lighting Artist, Head of Animation, or even a CEO look like at Technicolor Group?
In this talk From Student to President, we dive into every level of the business, hearing from a diverse mix of Technicolor Talent sharing their stories of how they made it into the creative industry and their insights into taking that leap of faith.
One of the key questions that we don’t get to ask enough is, what does an average day at work look like for you? This question usually elicits an ambiguously complex answer that doesn’t even scratch the surface of a job role, especially for a CEO of a global company. So, when we had the opportunity to ask our very own Christian Roberton, we got straight into it. No surprises, Christian’s day is predominantly blocked out by meetings, with calls starting first thing in the morning and often ending around 8 or 9 pm. The subject of those calls? In a sentence, they usually concern the financial well-being of the business and recruitment and are always looking at developing the innovative legacy that underpins who Technicolor Group are.

We also got some insightful gems of advice from Debaprasad Bhowmik, Head of Animation, who is no stranger to the often-challenging hours that are necessary to create the most beautiful animations. Debaprasad speaks frankly, explaining that to progress effectively in the VFX/Animation industry you should really have a grounded love for the art. He explains that the process of learning and perfecting animation on a project can make anyone jaded and without that love for the process you can burn out.
