Boris FX Insider Feature: Harry Frank, the Head of Community Relations
Harry Frank has taken on the role of Director of Community at a company, a position that he is eager to use to connect with the community, listen to their stories, and engage with them both virtually and in person.
With over 25 years of experience in audio engineering, video post-production, and motion design under his belt, Harry brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. His past work includes stints at Red Giant Universe/Maxon, Blur Studio, and Blind.
Despite a lack of specific information about his involvement in the VFX, audio, or motion design industries, a search reveals that Harry's career has been primarily focused on these creative fields. Results do not match Harry with individuals from other contexts such as legal clinics, fire management, hospitality, corrections, or local government.
In terms of inspiration, Harry admires the work of Yayoi Kusama and would love to collaborate with her on a visual installation. If given the opportunity, he would also collaborate with Jimi Hendrix to create visuals for his music.
Harry's collection of art & design books and his frequent visits to stashmedia.tv and motionographer.com for motion design inspiration demonstrate his passion for the creative industry. In the coming months, he plans to delve deeper into the specifics of Boris FX tools to further enhance his skills.
Harry encourages the community to connect with him and start conversations. He can be found on Twitter, leading community engagement through social media, events, and user groups. He also follows the community on the platform.
Outside of work, Harry unwinds by going on hikes in the Portland area, where he is based. He enjoys spending afternoons at Powell's bookstore in Portland.
Harry's favourite TV series include The Sopranos, Schitt's Creek, Stranger Things, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul. He is a fan of the Star Wars series and films, as well as anything 80s, especially John Hughes.
In a personal and professional sense, Harry advises his younger self to get outside of his comfort zone. He believes that life is too short to care about what others think.
Harry intends to introduce technology, entertainment, and lifestyle elements into his community engagement, given his background in creative industries like VFX, audio, and motion design. As he explores Boris FX tools further, he aims to blend these elements seamlessly into his work.
