In Love with the Process Podcast

These days, Hollywood blockbusters are dependent on huge epic action sequences. Characters either fight on planets that we have never seen before or hopelessly dodge skyscraper-sized creatures that battle in post-apocalyptic cities. Ever ask yourself, how the hell do you shoot something, create the effects for a creature that doesn't exist? Where do these ideas come from? The concept artist. The unsung hero of modern cinema. Dare we say, the most imaginative creative in our business?Today, host Mike Pecci talks with movie and video game concept artist Chris Cold about how he finds the inspiration to create these dark and horrific creatures.Follow Chris Cold's work: http://chriscold.com/The Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: http://puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: https://www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-Labs-Consultation-Service-101?Rule Boston Camera: www.rule.com/Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess Hosted on Acast.
