In this week’s episode, I’m excited to share a lengthy discussion I had with Keith Arem, a professional musician, film director, published author, and talent director.
Keith is best known known for his work in sound and audio, and his list of clients includes Activision, Ubisoft, Sony, Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Fox, and Disney.
He has recorded and produced over 600 commercial releases, including each of the following video game series: Call of Duty, Saints Row, Ghost Recon, Spiderman, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Persona, Rainbow Six, and Titanfall.
Keith is the Founder and President of PCB Productions, founding member of the band Contagion, author of three highly successful graphic novels (Ascend, Infex, and Dead Speed), and Director of the recent feature film, The Phoenix Incident.
In this episode, Keith and I discuss:
- What it takes to make a name for yourself as an artist and creative
- How to put together a great team for your creative project
- The 3 elements of a strong team
- The key components needed when producing a drama or story-based show
- How to find great voice talent
- How to build an audience early and quickly
- How to break through the noise and get noticed
- Why you should create the technology your product needs
- What happens when you focus on projects that bring you inspiration
- How to go about making connections by doing what you already love
- What it means to break out of the box and make magic
- How using social media creatively is a game changer
- How you can create the platform you need to get your content out
- How the viral element of creativity is just as important as the creativity
