It was almost a year ago that we did this interview actually, and while it is quite brief it has a cool perspective on the industry that a lot of people don’t really consider as a way to get into the industry, having a trade. Dave Gauthier has worked on the X-Files television series and movies, Elektra starring Jennifer Garner and many more projects as well. He has been in the business for a long time and currently works in Vancouver, Canada as a mechanical special effects supervisor. Here is an HD video of the interview:

Something to say?
Mr Gauthier,
I am a graduating student in Electromechanical / robotics technician. I am finding the work to involve little to no creative requirements. I am a very creative person who ended up doing an engineering course. Can you tell me of any direction I should take in order to apply to a company, (I don’t know of any company names as of yet) involved in film effects.
