What Does a Visual Effects Producer Actually Do?

Below is a 2013 blog post from our sister blog FLiP, which interviews visual effects producer Martin Gabriel on what a VFX producer actually does for a living. When I first started working in VFX, I genuinely had no idea. Martin carefully explains the process, and in doing so reveals the nuts and bolts of how the VFX industry actually works.

Martin Gabriel is a visual effects producer with a long list of successful feature films on his resume, including Harry Potter and the Goblet of FireX-Men, The last Stand, and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. He also worked on the TV series Band of Brothers and The Prisoner.
