The American Experiment

One of the shows I worked on at Eyeline Studios. Super fun shots. Lots of creative problem solving.

The American Experiment

Tudum:

‘As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, a five-part historical documentary reexamines the improbable achievement that was the nation’s founding, and the radical question at the center of the American Revolution: Can a people govern themselves? The American Experiment, now streaming, features a wide range of voices, including former vice presidents and cabinet officials, current and former members of Congress, a former Supreme Court justice, leading historians, tribal chiefs, military experts, and thought leaders across the political spectrum to present uniquely bipartisan and deeply informed conversations about the origins and future of American democracy.’

Ben McEwan:

As you have previously purchased a course of mine, I wanted to reach out and invite you to the pre-release of my new course, The Math of Comp. It's an information-dense short course, aimed at heightening your technical understanding of what the common tools in Nuke are doing to the pixels in your images.

You can donate, I recommend you do.

Python. Why? →

Conrad Olson

With some Covid-induced time off recently, I’ve made a concerted effort to try and learn Python. I’ve tried several times before and it has never really stuck, but I’ve always felt that I should be able to grasp it. So I was determined to use this time productively and crack it this time.

Its a good time to learn some new tricks.

QUICK TIP: SEEK GOOD PEOPLE OVER GREAT PROJECTS →

Ben Mcewan:

Towards the end of 2016, I had a revelation; I made a conscious decision to seek out people I enjoyed working with in the past, and to do my best to continue working with those people. As it turns out, this was the single-most impactful career decision I’ve made!

Nuke celebrated at the Sci-Tech Oscars →

Mike Seymour:

Nuke started life at Digital Domain (DD) and then moved to The Foundry. The awards honor both the early work and the continuing R&D that has made this software the cornerstone of so many serious pipelines. Today, Foundry's Nuke has become a ubiquitous tool used across the motion picture and visual effects industries. It's nodal approach to compositing and effects has enabled novel and sophisticated workflows at an unprecedented scale and is used the world over.

While I have complaints about Nuke and The Foundry, Nuke is a amazing piece of software. If you can think it you can do it with enough time and money.
