This week's guest is co-founder of FXGuide, arguably the first and foremost podcast and blog in our field. He also co-founded FXPhd which was my route into the industry so this was a massive honor for me. We dive deep into Neural Rendering (which Mike has been involved with since 1999) machine learning and practical applications within visual effects and filmmaking. We then discuss the ethics of machine learning  and art, why there won't "a metaverse" and some of the most likely applications of AR and VR. This raises some general points about the application of new technology which it would be well of us to heed. Sometimes you want to see the artists work as they talk.
