Tips to become a successful art director✨

An art director's job can be very diverse. From creating a creative portfolio to coming up with the best idea for a creative project to creating mind-blowing visual content. With more and more production houses and digital agencies emerging, the demand for art director jobs is also growing.

An art director's job includes designing sets, supervising actors and studio professionals, supervising videographers and photographers during filming, and overseeing the creative art concept. Here's a list of our tips for becoming a successful art director:

1️⃣ Build a fabulous portfolio.
The first step to a successful career in the film and animation industry is to create and present a cool portfolio. Make a portfolio that represents the style of art direction in which you specialize and want to work further. A strong and well-designed portfolio is what will attract the attention of a potential art director among the crowd.

2️⃣ Take a course in directing or art directing

The directing course requires aspiring art directors to gain practical knowledge of the subject by visiting studios and production houses, working as art directors on projects based on the curriculum, and attending seminars and workshops by industry professionals.

3️⃣ Learn how to work as part of a team

The job of an art director involves working closely with teams to manage the various stages of production from up close. Observe and supervise the professionals who build and design sets, set props, work on graphics and other visual elements, and supervise videographers and photographers. Working as a team and supervising the work of other team members will lead to a successful project.

4️⃣Act as a coordinator.

An art director must not only be a professional at teamwork, but also be excellent at working with multiple teams. It is important to work cross-functionally with the teams responsible for costume design, VFX, set organization, prop placement, graphic design and budget allocation.

IS INSTAGRAM BECOMING A VIDEO SOCIAL PLATFORM?

Everyone has probably heard by now that Instagram is changing its focus. It's no longer a photo-sharing app. That's what Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, says.
However, this change will have an amazing impact on millions of businesses around the world.

The message sent by the founder of Instagram is hardly in doubt: Instagram will no longer focus on photos as the main type of content and will become more of an entertainment app focused on video content.

We've been watching IGTV, short videos and stories for a while now. But if Instagram completely removes posts, long texts under pictures will also become a thing of the past. And that's what could be a problem for many businesses.

It's hard to say exactly how Instagram plans to do this. After a few experiments with algorithms and feeds, changes with content will affect the app on many levels. Everyone involved in the complex web of creators, brands, Influencers and customers will now be placed in a different system of relationships within the app.

It looks like soon it will be exclusive content on Instagram. It also means you will have to change your Instagram marketing strategy to match the upcoming updates. The head of Instagram states that the company will focus on 4 main things: creators, videos, purchases and messaging.

So, how will this affect business?
What are your ideas?

27/08/2021

Digital technology has become an integral part of almost every artistic production in the last ten years. Artists use computers at different stages of the creative process, applying them to a variety of different tasks. Even if the final work is not directly digital, various programs can be used to communicate with other artists or collaborators, organize the creative process, collect resources, or publish the results of the work. Many professionals have had to relearn how to work or move to a completely different specialty.

Today it is possible to create films and animation without computers, but this is completely impractical. Books can also be published by hand, with typography, but it is much easier to use desktop publishing programs.

However, there are some areas of art, such as web art, video performance or augmented reality, where it is impossible to create without digital technology. Thanks to the dynamic development of digital technology and the increasing availability of hardware and software, digital tools that used to be inaccessible to the average artist are now available to everyone.

Visual effects, also called VFX, allow the filmmakers to improve the story by bringing realistic characters, worlds, and stunts to life.

Visual effects allow filmmakers to create fascinating real universes and perform stunts that would be impossible to pull off in the real world, but visual effects are not only used in blockbuster films. Directors also use delicate visual effects in more down-to-earth films to tell their stories more effectively.

VFX allows filmmakers to create atmospheres, objects, creatures and even people that would otherwise be impractical or impossible to shoot in the context of live-action. VFX in filmmaking often involves integrating live-action footage with computer-generated imagery (CGI).

AMG.Media Group provides filmmaking assistance at any point in the production process through our various teams, partners, and networks.

It is a quite common question on the internet to ask at what age it is too late to start a career in visual effects.

AMG.Media Group answers this question.

In fact, the honest answer is that there is no age barrier in this field. The main question you need to ask yourself is - am I motivated enough to have a career in VFX?

We'll find out why it's not too late to pursue your dream of working in the visual effects industry, learn how a career change at a later age can be an advantage, and meet artists who are living proof that you're not too old to start a career in VFX.

So why is it possible to switch careers at a more mature age?
Firstly, you are not alone in your desire. People change careers for a variety of reasons, and one of the main motivations is job satisfaction. If you're passionate about VFX, you're on the right track to building a career in the industry, regardless of your age. Many famous people started their careers at a mature age.

By studying VFX, you'll be surrounded by people whose passion is equal to yours, so you'll always have something in common with your classmates. What's more, by studying visual effects in your chosen fields, you'll also gain access to great minds who can become your mentors, offering crucial support as you progress in your career.

If you are still in doubt, we have just a few tips for you:

- Think about why you want to change careers.
- Ask yourself if you have the ambition and desire to learn.
- Start talking to people in the industry to find out what it's like to work in visual effects and whether it's the right profession for you.

If you have any further questions, we are always ready for communication.

Technology has made our lives completely dependent on it. The pandemic has only made the situation worse, as everything has been intentionally transferred from face-to-face contact to online meetings and electronic shopping (e-shopping). As a result, companies are figuring out new ways to attract customers to their businesses by increasing their online presence.

Businesses are busy implementing methods that will bring them good results in online retail, and one of the ways they are doing this is through animation, specifically the inclusion of animated videos on their websites. That's because animated videos for your business can provide a lot of benefits that will lead to better sales. This can be especially helpful for those businesses that operate exclusively online.

Here are 3 key factors on how animated videos can help you boost your online store sales and why they should be part of your digital marketing campaign.

1. Present your brand with an animated video
Delivering interesting information through educational and entertaining animated videos will help you win the trust of your customers in the long run.

2. Attract customers with VR animation
Animated videos are a great way to promote your brand in the marketplace by attracting customers. They can hold a customer's attention and draw them to a particular product. Videos can increase conversions by 80%. They can increase both sales and conversions directly and indirectly.

This is because audiences like to imagine themselves using the products they are interested in buying, so an animated video, such as one showing off a product, would be helpful.

3. Tell a story with an advertising animated video
Adding animated videos to your websites can be a clever trick to set you apart from your competitors. Your company can appear creative and futuristic to your customers.
You can, for example, share the inspiring or fascinating story of someone who works for you or is even a customer of yours, and talk about how your company has changed their life.

We are always ready to help you boost your online shop with animated videos. Contact us📩

CORPORATE ANIMATED VIDEOS: WHY DOES EACH COMPANY NEED ONE?

As more and more people around the world go digital, from small organizations or startups to entire corporations, they are all using animated videos in their business. Animated videos are a great way to keep your audience engaged with your content, as everyone reacts quickly to these videos in one way or another these days.

They are one proven way to increase conversions and sales for your business. They can serve as effective strategies to adapt when you want to take your business to the next level. This is why most companies are now using animated videos in their corporate sector.

Corporate animated videos are an area of non-promotional content created in the form of animated videos. These animated videos are used by corporations, businesses, companies and/or organizations for various purposes and are published on company web pages and social media. They are even used by various organisations as an email marketing tool. It is important to remember that the target audience is employees, partners and company members, not brand customers.

The biggest advantage of such animated videos is that they allow you to grab the viewer's attention from the start. These videos can be brief, but nevertheless, have a much greater impact than any typical video content.

These animated videos are also very successful on social media, as they condense the information into small video segments that are easily consumed by the target audience. Moreover, large organisations are now using animated videos in their corporate departments to elevate the usually serious and calm atmosphere of the sector and deliver important messages.

Does your company use such corporate videos in its work?

Contact us via direct or e-mail us at [email protected] if you need any help to create these videos.

Many young, aspiring filmmakers and VFX specialists wonder: Should I go to film school? This question seems to be asked more and more as time goes on, and the film industry continues to develop.

Nowadays, filmmakers seem to have access to a wealth of resources and information on the Internet that they can use to create their own projects and self-study. But is self-education really that effective?

Let’s think about some advantages of both variants.

So, if you are going to self-educate yourself, you may have such advantages as:
🔸You will have the ability to set your own pace
🔸It might be a cheaper option comparing to studying at school
🔸You won’t waste time learning unnecessary skills(but that’s not always true)

❓What about schools? Do they have some advantages? Let’s find out.

If you enter VFX school, you will have the next opportunities:
🔸Accreditation will be able to help you with overseas Visa applications
🔸You will have access to cutting edge facilities and software
🔸You will have direct access to industry experts
🔸You may increase your networking opportunities
🔸Your motivation will be increased because of being surrounded by peers and lecturers
🔸You will have access to educational software licences

It’s up to you!
