From Akella to your own art studio. Building an art department from scratch. Yuri Romanyuk

I want to share a fresh video — it's a conversation about CG, working as an art director, managing teams and, yes, why I think soft skills are overrated (at least not as sacred as they are often said to be).

We talked about a lot:
• how to build an art department from scratch,
• how to understand who is worth promoting,
• what is really important in the work of an art director,
• how not to burn out after 20 years in the industry,
• and why I re-learned 2D after 3D.

It turned out controversial in places, and simply human in places — I hope it will be useful or at least interesting.

If it catches your attention, write what you think. It's interesting to hear how you see it, especially if your experience is completely different.
