At the end of the day, we’re doing what we love, creating what we love, and making enjoyable one-of-a-kind moments that imprints for a lifetime for all types of audiences. Wren is infatuated with what he loves, and it makes me love what I do even more! No matter where it takes us, no matter how much money it makes us, just waking up knowing that we are doing what we dreamt of doing mostly our entire lives….it brings tears to my eyes man. Wren.

+sudd: Actually it does make sense given the context. It would cost them more to have someone use Blender without being able to get help from others when a problem arise than all of them using the same software. Besides, he's right saying that Blender's interface is daunting. It'll be better in 2.8, but it's probably too late for them at this point to learn a whole new program and try to get all the plugins they're used to.

Well actually they used a stuntman in a blue foam bear suit with motion capture sensors, which took a month of choreographing, dozens of takes with new makeup for each wound and a lot of research. then applying and manipulating the motion capture data then turning stuntman into a grizzly. I did see footage of the set and there was a laying bear there, which i image they used for making a 3d model and textures and is taxidermic to be movable.

I just loved the energy and vibes Wren brought in the interview. This was refreshing and knowledgeable at the same time. Nice to see him explaining the nitty gritty details and the technicalities with such ease. Also, it was fun listening to his engineering college stories and his views on college degree and self-learning.

I love that wren is almost always smiling I love his positive energy

Just a clarification on the requirements of a degree counting for the industry, specifically for *big budget movies.* I currently intern at *Industrial Light and Magic* and *no, they do not care about your degrees!* We have people from PhD's in physics to expert chefs who worked in big hotels. *Your demo reel is the only thing that matters* and you should know your stuff. The demo reel will get you the interview and from that point on, you should ace the interview, they'll ask you specific question on details on how you made the shot and also have an open mind, you will get questions about your hobbies and other non-vfx related stuffs. *However,* if you're an International applicant, you're gonna need to get some sort of a recognized qualification in order to get a working visa. *P.S* Generalists(E.g: People who do all the "vfx" by themselves) tend to get work in much smaller studios, so, you're gonna want to choose a specific career path if you choose to go in Hollywood.

Quantum Negative it is true that they dont give a shit about your degrees, but i believe that college, particularly Art colleges and universities, could enhance your artistic eye to the whole new level. Everyone can learn the programme, but not everyone could use the programme to make fanstastic art. It is your ability that makes you an artist, not the programme you use, btw how could you become an intern at ILM, based on your reel or test or something ?

This is perfect my two favourite vfx artists talking to each other

When interviewee says something like "I made this effect" or "My first character was really lame," and you show it to us, it is both more visually interesting and more informative. Already looking forward to the next one.

7:00 Andrew has obviously never handled a gun in his life. It's actually hilarious! No disrespect, Andrew. You're still my favourite 3D artist. You've taught me more than most.

wow wren. Your experience of studdiying engineering making you learn how to learn is something I see I need now. I'm trying to learn tech art, and coming from an artistic background, I think its something I missed on art shool, learning to learn, learning how to think and solve problems.

I appreciate the candor. No need to apologize or pander. You're on top and your insight is supremely appreciated. An invaluable video interview.

Guys, both of y'all thank you so much for this video! Just dipping my foot into VFX recently, but having experience in other media experience, Wren you gave me such tremendous insight. There were a lot of things I agreed upon and really reassured me on my process of learning. It's been a great help and Wren, honestly, I think you have a great personality for KZread. There will be a niche market for the things that you like and all the "quirks" of character you carry. Just looking at Sam and Niko channel comments and seeing how A LOT of it mentions your likable character, there's a lot of supporters out there for you. That said, I just wanted to encourage with that, but continue doing what you feel led to be the best to do for you at this time. Again thank you guys for this amazing collab. This really is gold hidden in KZread, but for those only who can pull the value of it!

Hmmm, wasn't this filmed after Peter "introduced" blender to Corridor Digital? If I remember correctly that set where interview took place was built after Peter's second internship... I'm saying this because I expected Wren to mention that Peter used Blender for a number of Corridor Digital main videos (Such as "Tiny Guns" and "Anime Fidget Spinners"). Not what that think about it this interview may have been filmed just before Peter started 2nd internship...

Really interesting discussion. When Wren said about how he views tutorials more along the workflow than the end result, it struck a chord with me as I had found myself thinking about what tools people were using and how rather than the object being worked on recently when watching tutorials. As others have said, Andrew makes a great interviewer, extremely informative.

I feel like you were unprepared for this interview.

This was a great interview. Never would have expected this video to happen. Very nice.
