EP99 | Designing The UNREAL World of The Mandalorian (Guest Ian Milham)
Are you excited for Mandalorian Season 2? Season 1 utilized LED backgrounds called The Volume that allowed for a completely virtual world to be the backdrop of the show. For the first time, you could move a mountain or shoot during golden hour all day long. This is the future of production, and Season 2 looks to be even crazier. We needed to take a deep dive into this technology, which is why our guest for this episode is Ian Milham, the Virtual Production Supervisor for Seasons 1 & 2 of The Mandalorian. He's the one who can move the mountain in the background of a shot, and he's the one that spoke with Host Mike Pecci about the technology that is going to change our industry. Ian bridges the distance between video games and film production with his experience at LucasArts, being the Art Director for Dead Space, and now with ILM and Disney, so be prepared for a nerdy deep dive into video games, virtual production, and maybe get a look at what's to come with Season 2 of The Mandalorian.
EP97 | You Deserve To Be Paid For Your Work (Guest Hayley Akins)
Imposter syndrome sucks. At some point we've all had it, and the sad truth is that young artists are swindled by companies trying to get great work without paying for it. Host Mike Pecci reiterates this message on the show constantly: You need to charge enough for your work. Don't let these assholes take advantage of you. In the motion design world, Hayley Akins is one of the loudest voices promoting that same message. She founded Motion Hatch to focus on the business side of motion design and begin the conversation of what and how to charge fairly for your work. This is an episode where you're going to want to take notes. Your bank account will thank you.
EP88 | Editing Mandy (Guest Brett W. Bachman)
Mandy. If you listen to this show, you're probably as obsessed with that film as we are, and if you aren't: stop what you're doing. Go watch it right now. Once you've seen Nic Cage in an acid-induced chainsaw fight, I'm betting you'll feel the same way we do. The whole film has such a unique voice, and it's clear that this was purposely created by the director and editor. Host Mike Pecci has admitted that this podcast is an excuse for him to talk to people he'd love to work with, and when you add in the fact that we haven't had an episode focused on editing, our guest, Brett Bachman, was the obvious choice. In addition to Mandy, Brett has edited other ILWP favorites like Color Out of Space and Daniel Isn't Real. If you're as big of a fan of these films as we are, this conversation between Mike and Brett is just everything you could want.
