PART-TIME LEARNING | VFX - Leadership Consciousness
NON SUBSIDIZED LEARNING - Online Training
General Description
Why is leadership crucial in the role of a manager?
This course serves to raise our awareness regarding our interpersonal interactions in the workplace. To build functional, efficient, and thriving production teams, it's not enough to merely have expectations for our team members. Instead, we must lead them through our work methodologies, employ emotional intelligence, and adapt to various personality types.

Target Audience
Production managers for visual effects and animation, coordinators, project managers (PMs), supervisors, producers, or other team leaders or superiors.

Engaging in (or aspiring to undertake) a managerial role, or having interactions aimed at leading other employees.

About the instructor
Meggie Cabral
Visual Effects Project Manager for over 12 years now, Meggie started off in the industry as technical support specialist for Autodesk’s Media & Entertainment softwares such as Flame, Smoke & Lustre. Her desire to become a camera operator during her college studies, rapidly turned into a preference for what was happening beyond the camera, mostly during the post-production process.
After 5 years of technically supporting artists from a distance over the phone, she decided to move onto new challenges and integrated the VFX Industry by becoming a Coordinator at RodeoFX which counted only a little over 20 employees at the time.
She rapidly became a vfx project manager and learned to introduce efficient management methodologies along side her amazing colleagues. Work methodologies that have followed her throughout her different work experiences in different studios such as Oblique FX, Alchemy 24 et Cinesite.
She also had the opportunity to challenge her capabilities and expertise on a few movie productions such as the french production of Beauty and the Beast and as VFX Producer for Denis Villeneuve’s movie, Arrival.
After many years in the VFX industry, Meggie slowed down the pace and moved towards a better work/life balance, reduced her working hours to allocate more time to her biggest passion: her 3 kids.
Today, Meggie shares her knowledge, know-how and vfx management experience with trainings she has developed including the usage of her all-time favourite tool, Shotgrid software.
Her leadership now goes beyond the Visual Effects industry. She has developed ways to accompany professionals like her, to widen their horizons, step out of their comfort zones, identify their limiting beliefs, access their full potential and take actions that will help them shape their own destinies.
