CAREER STORIES
Currently at Union VFX, BAFTA winner Jane has lent her creative prowess to Poor Things , All Of Us Strangers and more ane Paton studied computer animation at Bournemouth University and soon after, landed her first visual effects job on My Week with Marilyn (2011). “We needed to grade her eyes blue across the entire film,” she begins. “I applied to various companies after university. It wasn’t an easy time to graduate because in London, they had just finished the Harry Potter films and John Carter , so I felt lucky to get that role. “I started at LipSync, a relatively small company. For me, it was a great first job because, at a smaller studio, you can get more opportunities. I could learn prep and comp early on, whereas perhaps at a larger company you could be doing roto for two years solid. Working on small- scale projects, they also have fewer set-ups and templates to fall back on, so you learn how to do things from scratch yourself. It was a steep learning curve, but it was a great first step as I truly got an overview of everything.”
