(chapters available) This week, we have a very special episode with renowned VFX supervisor Michael Fink, who won the Best Visual Effects Oscar for ‘The Golden Compass’ and also received an Academy Award nomination in VFX for ‘Batman Returns’. We break down key moments in his career, that happen to also be key moments across VFX history-all the way from the analogue and optical days, to models and miniatures, early CG, and groundbreaking advancements in digital visual effects. We also talk about our favorite presentations we watched at FMX.
We cover the Blade Runner’s Voight-Kampff prop, the old-school effects in ‘Batman Returns’, zany CG in ‘Mars Attacks!’, bamf’ing in ‘X-Men 2’, a stunning array of creatures in ‘The Golden Compass’, and so much more. You’ll hear insider VFX stories not shared before. This episode was recorded live at FMX 2024.
