Kate Vaisey - VFX Producer
Show notes
For episode three of season two of The Doc Makers podcast I’m truly delighted to be speaking to Kate Vaisey. A Senior VFX Producer with 20 plus years working on projects spanning the BBC, Discovery, NatGeo, Sky, Netflix and NBCUniversal.
I first met Kate when we were young pups working at Impossible Pictures (Walking with Dinosaurs) in the early 2000s and she’s gone on to be part of some wonderful projects including ‘I shouldn’t be alive’, ‘Space Odyssey’ and ‘Our Living World’.
This is a special conversation for me because the day we were due to chat, Kate almost didn’t do it. She’s been very open and honest online about her recent struggles within the industry and more importantly her place in it and was worried about how negatively that might come across. And I’m so glad she decided to take part, because she’s such an incredible human, who, despite everything it throws at her, is still so incredibly passionate about our industry and the people in it.
It’s not all doom though, we do spend some time discussing how Kate navigated her last 8 episode project, Surviving Earth and we both have a very senior moment where we forget the name for a crystal ball.
Enjoy.
