There's Something about Archviz Podcast — S02E02: Running a remote office /w Massimiliano Napoli
The job market was deeply affected by the pandemic. Many have started reevaluating their priorities, quit their old jobs, and perhaps shifted careers, starting the so-called Great Resignation. Today, however, I'm going to focus on another hot topic connected to the job market, which is the whole work-from-home debate.
Our industry has very mixed stances when it comes to remote work. I've had many conversations about that these two years and heard many different opinions and I've been setting up my own home office myself way before the pandemic started.
However, today I'm giving the spotlight to Massimiliano Napoli, Head of Still Images Production at Diorama.
Diorama is set up as a production house rather than an archviz studio, and as such, it relies a lot on freelance work power. Diorama has always looked at remote work as a feasible business model, but the pandemic has pushed them to completely ditch the physical office and go full remote.
In this episode, we go deeper into it, and discuss the lessons Diorama has learned from the pandemic in managing remote work, but also its limitations, especially when it comes to integrating junior and entry-level artists. We also go through some info on their technical setup for remote work and talk a lot about teamwork and the power of freelancing connected to their business model.
More about Massimiliano:
Massimiliano studied Architecture in Florence, and moved to France for his Erasmus in 2013. That’s where he discovered visualization, or perspectivisme, as they call it in France. He got hooked and started looking into that.
Upon finishing his degree, he spent one year in Poland working for a small company where he took his first steps in 3D. In 2016 he met Gilberto and Gianni : they were on the brink of starting their own company between Paris and Milan. At that time Diorama didn’t exist, it was just a few chairs and four artists, Massimiliano became the fifth. He is still working as a freelancer in the CG world.

There's Something about Archviz Podcast - S02E01: Working as in-house 3D artist /w Francisco Tirado
Переглядів 7292 роки тому
Despite the fact that they are a consistent part of our industry, in-house archviz artists don't really get the recognition they deserve. In-house archviz artists work closely with architects. It's basically like having your client in the same room as you, so the kind of filters and barriers archviz firms put in place are a hundred times more difficult to raise. Expectations in architecture off...

One of the things we tend to forget the most about archviz, is that it is a service industry, and managing people - whether it’s clients or teams, is a pretty important part of what we do. At the core of this, there’s always smooth communication. But how should we manage the expectations of our clients, and how do we build a positive dynamic with internal and external teams? I’ve asked these qu...

Episode 11 of There's Something About Archviz is about how to improve client relationships, which is probably one of the most important and undervalued factors influencing our success in archviz. In particular, I wanted to start from a widespread assumption going around within our industry, and that’s we have to “educate” our clients. But what does actually mean to “educate a client”? Should we...

Episode 09 of the "There's Something about Archviz" Podcast is about gender equality and balance issues in the architectural visualization industry.

I believe that the more diverse is a field, and this is especially true in creative...

What does it really mean to receive an education in archviz? Archviz training doesn’t necessarily follow the traditional academic path. We know that too well, many of us are self-taught or have been following scattered courses and tutorials. However, the offer we have today is unprecedented. The pandemic has brought so much online educational content for archviz artists, and the common idea of ...

    The part about not taking negative feedback personally hits too close to home. I'm learning to handle it by posting often but even thought I'm much better at it, I'm still running after those sweet likes on social media. It sucks, I know, I'm working on it.

    This talk was so full of meaningful information . Being a solo archviz artist, I struggle at having a conversation with anybody, that is something I am aware of and I try my best at my social skills. I'm also aware that a nice image doesn't necessarily mean you can have your own studio, it takes a lot more than a cute rendering.

[11:25] Balancing between instinct and rules when working with other artists [13:01] The meaning of ‘storytelling’ in our industry [15:22] Perceiving vs. understanding an image - the process of reading an image.
