Who’s Visiting Your Office?
A while back I wrote about expanding your network, professionally and personally. Sometimes it happens by design (you attend an event like the Biola Media Conference), and sometimes it’s coincidence.
Yesterday the uncle of the two brothers who started our company dropped by. He was visiting his sister and she wanted to show him her sons’ company. Turns out the uncle is Tony Sommers, a visual effects artist, who worked for Industrial Light and Magic (George Lucas’ company) for many years. He’s a credited artist and contributor on many of the biggest effects films - ever.
Remember Pearl Harbor? He created the planes. That’s cool. His career in the industry spans model-making to digital imagery to “hand stand-in” (for “Hulk”).
You never know who’s going to walk into your office, so be prepared. Maybe your co-worker’s second cousin’s father-in-law’s best friend was a set designer on your favorite movie.
Have any famous or close-to-famous or credited contributors to major films in your network?
