Amy Vatanakul is bringing life to big movies. A senior pre-visualization artist currently at Proof, Inc, has worked on visual effects for films such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Trek, Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 & 2, and some other exciting productions. 

Amy and I met for this interview at Aroma Coffee and Tea, a cozy cafe near Hollywood Hills and the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, L.A. to talk about her career in Visual Effects, what it is like to work in a male dominated industry, and about her biggest passion – traveling around the world.
