Shepparton Festival's Kristen Retallick: Winter Taster event with Joseph Tawardros

This interview first aired on Friday the 20th of October, 2023 on ONE FM 98.5 Shepparton.

One FM Breakfast announcer Terri Cowley talks to the Director of the Shepparton Festival Kristen Retallick and photographer Cam Matheson about the upcoming exhibition Shepparton Festival flood stories: An Item of Connection.

Where were you during the 2022 Floods?  

After one year, the people of Greater Shepparton and across Victoria are recovering from the floods. This project is designed to create space for conversation and story sharing that is just as important as physical and property recovery. The aim of this project is not only to represent our grief and recovery but to celebrate our community and tell our story of resilience and healing. 

From October 2023 until the end of the year, a series of portrait photo sessions will “pop-up” at different locations around flood affected areas of the Goulburn Valley. The portraits will be of people who experienced the floods in different ways and have a story they would like to share. The photographs will be shown in a large-scale outdoor exhibition in Shepparton as part of the 2024 Shepparton Festival before touring to surrounding communities. 

Each participant having their portrait taken is asked to bring an object to be photographed with to help us talk about and represent all of our very different experiences throughout the floods. We would also like to record your story in audio to accompany the photographs on the Shepparton Festival website.

The sessions at Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre on Monday 15th November and Shepparton South Community Centre on Tuesday 16th November will also include an art making activity with a local visual artist if you would like to record your story this way as well or instead.

These are drop in sessions, so come along any time between the times of each session. Your photo and story recording should take between 5 and 10 minutes, but can be longer if you need more time.  Bring an item that could symbolise what you lost, that you rediscovered cleaning up, something related to volunteer work, something that gained significance during the floods, or represents a positive experience, even a person connected to your healing process.

Cam Matheson has been a documentary and portrait photographer for thirteen years. He was born and raised in Tatura and is now a Toolamba resident. On October 15th he lost all of his personal possessions to the flood.

After graduating from Raleigh-Egypt High School, Delvin moved to Hollywood, CA and was discovered by a movie director.

It was during this difficult time where he discovered photography and began his healing process. His work has been featured in numerous magazines and he’s worked with a plethora of celebrities.

The Framestore Podcast, our learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore, is back this week where we're taking a short Summer break with a series of REWIND special episodes, where we go back in time and revisit some of our favourite episodes of the pod.

For this instalment we are going back to Episode 14! 

Originally aired on Monday 20th February 2023, we met with Visual Effects Supervisor and Creative Director, Russell Dodgson, who had recently delivered the incredible third and final season of Philip Pullman’s 'His Dark Materials'. 

Joining as co-host at the time was Sana Rehman, VFX Production Coordinator, who has since been promoted to VFX Line Producer! 

We discuss the 'people game' of being a VFX Supervisor, how the things that you do outside of your work often define what it is you love about your job, the importance of having 'imposter syndrome' and recognising that you may not always be the smartest person in the room. 

As well as reflecting on 5 years on His Dark Materials, we also reminisce on a love of DVD extras, breakdancing, Thai boxing, and a career peppered with incredible micro-mentors.

This was famously the first mention of the idea of 'micro mentors', and has come up many times on the pod since! 

Anyway, let’s turn back the clock and go back to February last year with Russell Dodgson and Sana Rehnman. 

Enjoy!

Episode 47 - Russell Dodgson (Episode 14 Summer REWIND!)

The Framestore Podcast, our learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore, is back with another excellent new episode.

On today’s episode we warmup our guest up by inviting them to take on the Framestore Podcast ‘Dailies’, our 13 question ‘grilling’ followed by Thursday’s second part where our co-host leads a deeper dive into why we invited them on the pod in the first place.

In our latest instalment, we sit down with New York based Will Frazier, Associate Creative Director, to learn about his career journey and how he became integral to our work on the 'Geico Gecko,' the tiny lizard with a unique love for insurance!

This is essential listening for anyone pursuing a career in a creative role and seeking to maximise their opportunities.

Beyond his acclaimed work on Geico, Will has an extensive portfolio spanning various commercial projects, films, and episodic shows. His credits include Smurfs, Inside Llewyn Davis, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor: Ragnarok, Wandavision, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The VR Experience, among others.

This week, we are joined by our special guest, Leslie Clark, Junior Asset Technical Director, also based in our New York studio.

We learn about Will's initial internship path (when internships were only four weeks long), how he swiftly began working on the Geico Gecko, and his ongoing responsibility for maintaining the lizard's consistent look and feel across projects and spots.

We discuss Will's early role as Lead Animator, highlighting his proactive efforts in securing his current position and earning the title of Associate Creative Director. We emphasise the significance of maintaining honesty and transparency, working with your heroes, exceeding job expectations, and being a pleasure to work with.

The Framestore Podcast returns this Thursday with the second instalment of our conversation with Will Frazier, as Leslie takes over as cohost and leads the interview. 

Stay tuned!

Episode 53 - Part 1: Will Frazier

The Framestore Podcast, our learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore, is back this week with another fantastic two-part episode!

On Monday's episode, we caught up with New York based Will Frazier, Associate Creative Director, to learn about his career journey and how he became integral to our work on the Geico Gecko. Guest co-host Leslie Clark, Junior Asset Technical Director, leads Part Two for an in-depth discussion about his career, inspirations, collaborations and lots more!

We learn more about Will's work on the Geico Gecko, including the creative process behind developing the character. He also shares his personal favourite spots and how his friends still send him lizard memes, calling him the 'Gecko Guy.' We also get an insight into life on a shoot and his on-set responsibilities. 

We also discuss what inspired Will to pursue a career in animation and explore some of his early childhood influences. We discuss his favourite movies, changes in the industry, and Will's views on the importance of school outreach programmes in promoting diversity within the industry.

Stay tuned!

Episode 53 - Part 2: Will Frazier

A learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore! 

Every two-weeks we present a conversation in two halves!

Part one - the Framestore Podcast Dailies! Each week we invite a guest to our regular ‘dailies’ session. Set questions designed to find out what makes our guests tick, what they do at our studio, their career journey so far and all manner of advice, tips and tricks. 

For our second portion, arriving later that week, we hand the reins over to a guest co-host, a member of our global community who stands to learn a lot from the experience who engages our special guest into a deeper dive conversation. Arguably a more technical discussion depending on who we have on the pod.

Also, check out 'The Framestore Dailies' Spotify playlist, where each guest and co-host share two tracks from their most loved 'music-to-work-to' artist 🎧
