Inside Boris FX's Inner Circle: Harry Frank, the Community Leader
Harry Frank, a seasoned professional in the motion graphics and visual effects industry, has taken on a new role as the Director of Community at an unspecified company. Based on available knowledge, Harry's expertise lies in advanced motion design, visual effects, and creative direction, using industry-standard software tools such as Red Giant (now part of Maxon), Maxon’s Cinema 4D, Boris FX for compositing, and collaborating with studios like Blur Studio and Blind.
Harry is no stranger to Portland, Oregon, where he spends his afternoons immersed in the literary world at Powell's bookstore. His passion for art and design is evident in his collection of books, which features classic paintings, advertising, graffiti, album covers, and lettering.
Outside of work, Harry unwinds by going on hikes in the Portland area and sipping on oat milk cappuccinos with biscotti during epic sessions. His favourite TV series span from the iconic The Sopranos to the modern Schitt's Creek, Stranger Things, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, and the Star Wars series.
In his new role, Harry is looking forward to connecting with the community, listening to their stories, and engaging with them both virtually and in person. He's also excited about working with the product teams on new product ideas and features for upcoming releases.
Harry acknowledges that he has a lot to learn about Boris FX tools, specifically Continuum and Sapphire. But he's eager to delve into these tools and collaborate with artists, much like his dream of collaborating with music legend Jimi Hendrix using modern technology or visionary artist Yayoi Kusama on a visual installation.
Harry's advice to his younger self is to step out of his comfort zone in both personal and professional life. He believes that it's important not to be afraid to be bad at things, look goofy, or make mistakes, as life is too short to care what others think.

Despite his varied interests in literature, hiking, and older TV series like The Sopranos, Harry Frank is equally enthusiastic about technology and its role in entertainment, aspiring to collaborate with artists using modern tools like Boris FX's Continuum and Sapphire, much like he dreams of working with music legends or visionary artists. In his new role, Harry aims to leverage technology to foster a vibrant community, bridging the gap between creators and consumers while continuing to learn and grow.
