ANGUS MACPHERSON ONE - TO - ONE

-



I asked Angus some general questions about the paths I should take in the near future. My end goal is to become a creative director and I know that I have to work up to that. After to listening to several speakers talk about working in large studios and how working for smaller places gets you learning more roles etc, I just wanted a little more guidance with that. I had asked about how to get motivated on set briefs that arent self - initiated too. 

He said that I should do what feels best and what suits my way of working like, if I am the sort of person to get comfortable and that, maybe avoid a large studio where I will just end up another small cog in a huge machine. As for set briefs, he said that unfortunately, these are the ones that tend to pay but, I should carry on with the self-initiated briefs for personal promotion and practice until they become the money makers.
