The Framestore Podcast, our learning and talent development focused podcast made by Framestore, for Framestore, is back with another brand-new instalment.
This week, we return to the Art Department for a conversation with Framestore Concept Artist, Jules Darriulat. Jules is a highly respected artist in his field, known not only for creating stunning concepts for Framestore projects but also as the co-founder of Concept 101.
In today's first part, we dive into the Framestore Podcast Dailies, discussing life as a concept artist, the origins of Concept 101, routes into the industry, and many lessons learned along the way.
On Thursday, we hand the mic to this week's guest co-host, Montreal-based Modeller and Launchpad alum Pierre-Edouard Merien, who will explore the craft of concept art in greater depth with Jules.
We explore how Jules began his journey as a Concept Artist, the creation of Concept 101, and offer advice on courses, software, mentorship, and other methods for mastering the craft of concept art. What was once a single hidden path has now expanded into twenty!
We also discuss Jules' favourite types of art to create, the differences between working in concept art teams for movies and TV shows versus the games industry, and the significance of grasping artistic fundamentals.
