Monkey Smuggling & Trial VFX - The Role of VFX in Law
The ACCESS: VFX Podcast is back with a new season where we're exploring VFX and Animation roles beyond Film and TV, exploring adjacent industries such as Legal, Fashion, and Architectural Visualisation. With the current challenges in our industry, we know many people are looking for new opportunities, and this season is all about showcasing unexpected but exciting career paths. We kick things off with a fascinating conversation with Jamey Moore and Mark Seydewitz, Trial Services Specialists at Akin, a legal firm in Houston, Texas, specialising litigation support and trial services. On this episode, we learn how VFX artists play a crucial role in high-profile legal trials, sometimes sitting beside Nobel Peace Prize winners, crafting visuals that shape real-world justice; and, in all our years of podcasting, we never thought we’d be discussing monkey smuggling! So, file into court quietly, take a seat, and enjoy the first episode of this brand-new season of the ACCESS: VFX Podcast! Cases mentioned in this episode...
