#64 Miran Dilberovic: VFX Careers in 2025... The Harsh Truth

The VFX industry is evolving quickly, and if you're exploring careers in VFX or want to know how to get into the VFX industry, this episode is packed with real-world insight. Jamie sits down with his longtime friend and former colleague Miran Dilberovic — now a Senior Cinematic Artist at Epic Games London — for a candid conversation about VFX jobs in 2025 and what it really takes to succeed.

Miran shares his journey from being a production assistant on Game of Thrones to working on Star Wars: The Last Jedi, then moving into previs roles at The Third Floor and Proof Inc, where he and Jamie first crossed paths. His story is proof that there’s no single path into visual effects careers — and that success often comes from persistence, networking, and doing great personal work.

They also dive into the real challenges of the job, including overworking in VFX (crunch culture), and why having a good supervisor can make all the difference in your experience. Whether you're a student, a career-switcher, or an aspiring artist, this episode offers honest advice on how to break into the VFX industry, build a strong showreel, and stay competitive in the ever-changing world of visual effects.
