Some advice. You don’t have to ask me to audition. Just make a tape. Watch other actors’ audition tapes out there. Put it on YouTube. Share it with people and ask them to share it. Honestly not having experience is a real disadvantage, but you never know. Even if it’s not meant to be, just have fun.

Anyone talking about how the Unreal Tournament episode of Secret Level was all native UE5? The already incredibly talented team at Blur really did an amazing job. Having chatted with them a bit I know it was difficult.. but for me they totally prove UE5 as capable visually. Lot of potential.

Perhaps another way to think about it. She would want you feeling better and enjoying life in her honor.

Well I’ve only made been 4 movies. I’d say I’ve gotten better at the craft part of movie making. Just how to put one together. How to execute.

With each movie comes a new challenge. So you always learn things.

The budgets keep getting higher, so more resources to manage.

Hope to keep learning.

Ha ha! Praise to you good sir.

It was a fun time wasn’t it? I’m sure the next thing will be fun too ;)

I’ss say even I was surprised how smoothly we wrapped up apes. We were doing well the whole time, but I’ve never had such a relaxed finish. We even redid some shots! Big credit to all you guys.

PSA for artists across #vfx studios.

If your studio is lined up to work on a Wes Ball joint, please do consider rolling onto it!

He's beyond experienced in the VFX workflow, gives great notes, and had an early rolloff for crew!...

Hello Kyoto!

Just a little thought for anyone struggling through the feels of all this election stuff we just lived through.

If you’ve been glued to your timeline and articles and podcasts and YouTube takes….

Don’t forget to turn that stuff off sometimes and just zone out to some music. Recharge your soul.

I grew up about 45 minutes north of Deland. Orlando was close enough to me to know it pretty well.

I did. Made me a little sad.

But I get it. Personally I haven’t touched modo (or any modeling tool) in quite a while. I’ve pretty much moved to Unreal Toto do whatever it is I need.

One day though I’m gonna need something and have teach myself blender or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
