    He Suffers From Severe Depression and Uses Mushrooms, LSD & MDMA to Fight His Dark Thought Which TBH Makes Him the Legend He is Today Also I Think Making “Mad God” Took A lot of Time, Effort & Energy to Make By Himself It’s Also Crazy to See How Many People of All Ages idolise Him He Doesn’t Realise How Amazing are Is But I Hope One Day He Does……

    Generally all CG effects companies capture on location data, including lighting references. They consolidate the lighting information into 2 spheres : a reflective mirror sphere for capturing environmental light sources, and a grey sphere for capturing incident light values. This has been a standard method since the early to mid 90's . A model reference might be used if it is available, for capturing specific shadow and ambient light details.

    Phil Tippett is to VFX what John Williams is to scores. His work will be remembered and lauded, just like Johns, long long after he's gone because he is the best at what he does. I absolutely adore his work - and I have nothing to do with the film industry or anything like that. I'm just a long time film fan (I'm 53) and Phils work has permeated every movie I've ever loved and watching the docs on how he understands how things need to be done for them to work on screen is just amazing. A lifetime achievement award from all the powers that be should be given. A brilliant man.

I hope George compensated them after the sale. Beyond a complimentary beer. Remember everyone. Who knows what the TSR fans will do when they're no longer here.

    I understand what he's describing with manipulating the 'points' to achieve a realistic looking animation, but I can also see how much effort he was putting in to try to make sure Will understood him. At one point the guy even gets a bit flustered. I think Will got it, but I can see how hard it might be to explain these concepts to someone.

    yeah, as someone who dabbled in 3D animation, what he's talking about is the graph editor, which is kind of a pain but a necessary evil. And yeah, each keyframe's default is to have an exponential (slow approach, slow finish) curve to it so each keyframe seems unnaturally fluid. He's right that in real-life things move at different paces and there are more starts and stops.

    Norm, I think you're a lovely guy (why would I think otherwise), but I think you need to work on your presentation / interview / research techniques. You come across as a bit of a school / fan boy and you don't really understand what the interviewee is actually saying back to you. You're not engaging in a dialogue in the way you should - you seem detached and want to move on to the next question rather than possibly exploring something the person you're taking to just said etc. Just a few notes, not a criticism, you're enthusiasm is infectious - I loved the LOTR masks unboxings and especially loved the Batwing unboxing with Adam.
