well, the illumination/real time projection/interaction is great, yes, but the limit for any actor is the 25 meter dome diameter unfortunatley..seen in Kenobi, which was very limiting
We see so much of this today that it often gets forgotten the hours upon hours of work and passion the artist poured into each and every shot despite the crunch.
Please don't forget you're also inspiring the current generation as well as the next. You set the bar high and contribute to it's movement. That happens today as well as 'tomorrow' 👌🏼💪🏼
13:55 Sound can be heard in the vacuum of space in that "gas hitting a microphone" scenario. There's a cool video where a Rocket Lab second stage separates recorded from a camera in the first stage. You hear the rumble as the second stage roars away and its rocket exhaust hits the mic. It's in the video entitled "Electron Stage Separation" from Nov 24, 2020. BTW, it looks just like the Tantive IV escape pod separation in A New Hope. :)
It really freaked me out when i first saw this. A very imaginative use of CGI. Guy Henry does look a bit like Peter Cushing but i don't think makeup would have had the same unsettling effect. Though I think a lot of that was maybe due to my familiarity with Cushing's work and the knowledge that he had been dead for twenty years.
14:08 I say, try it out. Have Kjell bringing some model of, let's say... the Enterprise... to the ISS and let it explode in space to check on sound. No offense. 😏
Last week's ILM podcast discussed changing the sequence of created scenes, and this discussion of changing light/up/down and orientation in space is very similar--factual science inspiring science fiction!❤

I had the chance to meet Mr. Knoll back in 2017 after his presentation for Rogue One at the Autodesk Gallery. I think he is the closest person to George Lucas from that legendary era who is still at LucasFilm.
The reference shot which is spoken of can it be added? so that the viewer who has not watched the movie can get some idea of what was final and what could be cbb. It would also be great to see the faces of the participants, as it gives much more to be invested in. Thanks for the podcast.
