Background

About Laura Coumbe

With over 13 years of experience in VFX, I have a deep understanding of all stages of the pipeline, from concept to final delivery. Throughout my career, I've worked closely with recruitment, allowing me to identify emerging talent and match artists with the roles where they’ll thrive. Driven by empathy and a passion for career development, I leverage my experience as a former Paint and Roto Artist, Recruiter, and Artist Manager to help nurture and guide the next generation of talent from Think Tank. I specialise in empowering artists by providing practical advice on crafting standout resumes, writing compelling cover letters, creating eye-catching demo reels, and preparing graduates for the industry. My background as a Roto Paint and Compositing Artist gives me a unique, hands-on understanding of what makes a successful artist, which I use to help candidates present their best selves to potential employers. Coupled with my experience as a recruiter and artist manager, I offer invaluable insight into the career development process and provide the guidance necessary for advancement in this competitive field. I bring a bright and enthusiastic energy to everything I do, and I am fully dedicated to supporting talent and driving positive outcomes. My time working in Production at Disney has further honed my organisational skills and ability to thrive in fast-paced environments. I’m proactive, adaptable, and always ready to pivot to new challenges with a strong work ethic and a commitment to success.
