Interview with Anthony Santoro

My last interview was with Anthony Santoro who works at Curious Pictures. We got a little off track with the questions and ran out of time. Below is what I asked him.

1. Can you briefly define your job?
Anthony works as the lead compositor/effects supervisor. He is involved with the shoots and in post production. Lately, he and Curious have gotten more involved in Motion/Title graphics.

2. How did you get started in the business?
Anthony said it just happened.

3. What goes into Motion Graphics?
There is a team of 6-7 people who work together on an opening sequence and it can take anywhere between 3-6 months.

4. Do you have any advice for a media student starting out?
Anthony said how you get started in the business is different for everyone. He told me to start as a PA and if you are talented and don't give up, eventually a break will come. He told me that the entertainment industry is never monotonous, everyday is creative and fun and you frequently start from scratch on new projects.
