In this exciting premiere of Who’s Flying This Thing? Scott sits down with Shawn Walsh, VFX Executive Producer & General Manager at Image Engine.
Shawn deep-dives into his career, discussing some serious milestones — from his "foot-in-the-door" moment at Mainframe, to his transition from artist to management. Step into your first-class seat, as you fly alongside a career that goes from Vancouver to California, Madrid, London and then back to the Pacific Northwest. Listen in as Scott and Shawn discuss the ins-and-outs of what it means to manage a creative company, the ups-and-downs the industry can dish out, and a look into how one balances all of this alongside a growing family. Plus, Shawn was a nationally ranked rower, so they get into that too. Not a big deal.
