Between 2017 and 2022, I spoke with close to 30 leaders in the creative field from animation, VFX, film and games while convening a unit for Swinburne University of Technology called Producing and Production Management for Animation. This chapter distils a selection of those interviews to provide a unique insider’s look into the creative industries in Australia. It explores a range of perspectives on ‘breaking in’ to the industry, the positives and negatives of their role, and advice for students and early-career juniors. Although focused on animation producing and production management, the information shared is relevant to anyone pursuing success in high-pressure work environments.
