Concepting heroes We find out about the jam-packed daily schedule of working on Marvel productions

Jackson Sze is a concept designer for film, games and TV, and is currently a visual development supervisor at Marvel Studios.
“I wake up at 7am and go for a swim. I try to work out and get cardio in the morning because I end up sitting the rest of the day. After that, I shower and get ready for work. I sit down to my computer around 9:30am and the first thing I do is check my emails. Marvel has so many ongoing shows, that even though the show I’ve supervised has gone into production and is shooting, they might have urgent questions that have tight turnarounds. Those types of questions are usually because of script or story changes and they need help figuring them out visually. Then I’m able to shift back to the shows that I’m supervising that are currently in pre-production and don’t have as quick deadlines.
