Danni Zhang
Associate Producer - Industrial Light & Magic
Flowervale Street, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Transformers One, Deadpool & Wolverine, The Creator, Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves, The King's Man, The Midnight Sky, His Dark Materials, Lady and the Tramp, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Captain Marvel, Aquaman, Peter Rabbit, Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2, The Lego Ninjago Movie, The Great Wall, Doctor Strange + More!
I actually started out as a 3D Generalist, doing everything from tracking to lighting for about four years. At some point, I realised that while I enjoyed the craft, I wasn’t necessarily the most naturally gifted artist.
But I loved the industry and knew I wanted to stay in it. That’s when I started looking toward production.
At first, I thought production would be all about fun client meetings and being charming, but I quickly learned there’s so much more to it. It’s about communication, strategy, problem-solving, and supporting the team every day. It’s challenging, but in the best way.
Over the past ten years, working across TVCs, broadcast, and film, I’ve grown so much both professionally and personally. Staying in production has allowed me to stay close to the creative work while helping bring it all together, and that’s something I really value.

Alicia Reymann Ramos
Senior VFX Coordinator (Onset) - Freelance UK/EU/CAD
Andor S1, Time Bandits, Percy Jackson & The Olympians S1, Coyote vs. Acme, Citadel: Diana and currently on a TBA Netflix Episodic.
I transitioned into the film industry from Sports Event Management, and got my start in VFX at ILM Vancouver in 2021. I started off as a VFX PA on Andor S1 and wrapped the show as a VFX Coordinator. From there I had the chance to work on several other episodic projects and across all departments (Gen/Env will forever have my heart), including working with the Stagecraft Content team on Percy Jackson.
In 2023 I was offered the opportunity to work with the client side VFX team on a Warner Bros feature film in London, and within 9 days of the offer I packed up my life, landed in the UK and started working as a freelance VFX Coordinator. I am now into my third year of freelancing, and on my second project as a Senior VFX Coordinator.
I had a very unconventional entry into the industry, but I am very grateful for my diverse background and the non-film related knowledge/skills I bring into my work. I enjoy the fast paced environment and problem solving that comes with working in this industry, and I certainly make use of my sociology degree on a daily basis!

George Leslie
VFX Production Coordinator - Framestore
F1, Deadpool & Wolverine, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Peacemaker S1, Avatar: The Way of Water, Black Adam, Captain America: Brave New World
I started my working life as a chef. I loved the craft, the teamwork, and the fast pace, but eventually I felt it was time for a change. Looking for something new where my skills from the kitchen would still be valuable, I landed a role in the facilities team at Wētā FX. It wasn’t a glamorous beginning (I really honed my dishwasher stacking skills 😅), but it opened the door to a completely new industry full of opportunity, and before long I was offered the chance to step into production within the Motion Department.
Soon after, life brought me to the UK, where I joined Framestore as a Production Coordinator. Since then, I’ve worked with teams across the full VFX pipeline, gaining a deeper understanding of how all the pieces fit together. It’s a unique opportunity to be at the centre of creative projects and to work alongside the incredible people who make them happen. It’s really rewarding to be part of the problem-solving that brings these ideas to life.

Katie Mitchell
Pipeline Project Manager - Flying Bark
Marvel's What If?, The Last Airbender, Stranger Things, Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Battle Kitty, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle + More!
Katie Mitchell is currently the Pipeline Project Manager at Flying Bark Productions, where she has contributed to projects such as Marvel's What If, Stranger Things: Tales From '85, and The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender.
Katie has worked on a wide variety of projects across the 2D and 3D spheres, in both episodic and feature films. Her journey in the film industry began in 2D animation, when she first joined Flying Bark to work on Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a Production Coordinator. She then moved into the 3D realm of animation, while working as a Production Manager on Netflix's Battle Kitty, rendered fully in Unreal. From there, Katie forayed into the world of VFX while working at Industrial Light and Magic on Rings of Power, and as an Associate Production Manager on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
Katie realized animation is what she loved being apart of most, and has since returned to Flying Bark. She has always enjoyed the workflow and technical aspect of film and television, finding ways to improve workflows for the Production department, and increase training for other colleagues in production.
Katie has now moved into the role of Pipeline Project Manager, where she looks after a team of developers who are the creators of the tools that allow artists to focus on the creative, by speeding up their workflow by automating the underlying data flow and tools. She works across the projects, facilitating development that suits the studio as a whole, as well as the individual project requirements.

Liv Lyne is the Line Producer on Bad Fairies. A born and bred Aussie but Londoner at heart. Her passion has always been in both written and visual storytelling, moving from rural Australia to Sydney to complete a degree in Creative writing before starting her Film career as a PA in Live Action Film.
Gaining experience on smaller indie projects, as well as the feature film I’Robot, she eventually found her first role in Animation and felt immediately at home– spending 7 years at Animal Logic on Happy Feet and Guardians of Gahoole.
Liv moved to London 13 years ago, working at MPC on a multitude of shows including The Jungle book, before moving to Mikros as Digital Line producer on their first UK based Animated feature, Sherlock Gnomes. Helping to build and manage the London office created solely for the film.
Directly prior to Locksmith, Liv worked as an Associate Producer and Producer at Framestore, across VFX, Animation and Immersive.
Liv is often accompanied by her French Bulldog Portra who snores louder than any human and loves cheese, sunshine and the brilliant company of her Locksmith co-workers almost as much as her owner.
As a side hustle Liv is a qualified nutritional health coach and hopes to eventually help creatives in deadline driven industries to better support their physical health and mental wellbeing.
