FZD Design Cinema Podcast: Money

FZD Design Cinema Podcast: Money

Show me the money

This week ending 03/05/16 we have gathered a nice podcast from the FZD Design Cinema Podcast about a topic that is very important to a lot of students who want to get into the industry. For parents who are also aware of their kids financial well-being, this is a pretty good informative podcast explaining a financial breakdown for a professional in the industry, starting from the bottom, which is why we wholeheartedly encourage you to give it a listen when you can.

Whilst this is a beneficial podcast to listen to when it comes to this particular industry, finances are something that everyone will have to deal with at some point or another in your lifetime, irrespective of the industry that you decide to start working in, so it never hurts to establish a sound knowledge base in this area as soon as you can.

The idea of finances covers a large number of areas. From being able to increase your funds by checking out something like this Tesla Aktien Prognose (Tesla Stocks Forecast) and investing in the relevant markets, to taking the time to learn how to create a savings account to ensure that you have money there for emergencies, everything is just as important as the next, so why wouldn’t you want to learn everything you can about it when you have the opportunity? While you may already think that you know all the information that is needed to live a financially secure life, there are always other things you can do to ensure this can be guaranteed. And when you are starting a career in this particular industry, it has never been more important. So, make sure you listen to this podcast. It may just be the best thing that you ever decide to do. Enjoy!

David Luong on Exposing Yourself

David Luong on Exposing Yourself

BBWCA - David Luong

This week, ending 9/26/2015, we are sharing two podcast links from The Knowledge Spot and The 4 Hour Work Week.

The first and main podcast delves into the world of a professional artist; David Luong, a senior cinematic video game artist level 2 at Blizzard Entertainment. Blizzard Entertainment is a highly prestigious video game developing and publishing company, with a lot of success in the games they have published. Some of these successful games include World of Warcraft, Overwatch and the game-changing Diablo. To prove Blizzard Entertainment’s success, Diablo is still a much-loved game, despite first being published in 1997, with people still purchasing add-ons to build the runeword. Diablo’s continued success shows the legacy that Blizzard Entertainment has obtained. Luong has been extremely lucky in such a good job at a very successful company and talks about what it takes to pursue art professionally, how to learn as an artist, and how to teach as an artist and how to make money. The second podcast interviews film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, editor, and musician Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Planet Terror, Kill Bill, Machete Kills, etc).
