Description
Hello everyone! Today’s episode features the Visual Effects Supervisor and Visual Effects Producer Robert Stadd. I was fortunate enough to collaborate with Robert on our Netflix film We Have A Ghost. We get into some fascinating discussions about his work in VFX including the intersection of VFX and Costumes (especially on We Have A Ghost!) as well as covering his extensive film career, and the reasons he turned down Titanic and The Matrix! Also tune in to hear about working on the miniatures for The Crow & Crimson Tide as well how he made a monkey look like he’s smoking for The Hangover. If you head on over to the Patreon, there’s an extended version of the episode with more tales, like working with Michael Mann, designing his favorite shot from Miami Vice and how some Navy Seals accidentally had their hair turn green on Crimson Tide.
