ILM have launched their new podcast, “Lighter Darker” which will give viewers and listeners a deep dive into the creative processes that ILM follow.
Welcome to Lighter Darker: The ILM Podcast where we focus on the creative process of filmmaking and the art of visual storytelling. Hosted by ILM Chief Creative Officer, Rob Bredow and Todd Vaziri, ILM Compositing Supervisor, who talk about the creative process of filmmaking and the art of visual storytelling. In our premiere episode Rob and Todd share thoughts on beautiful final shots from films they’ve personally worked on, along with a few ‘could-be-better”, or “CBB” moments, they didn’t want to let go. Todd unpacks the compositing from a famous shot in Star Trek Into Darkness and Rob shares how the production teams on the set of Solo: A Star Wars Story worked together to compose a memorable journey through the Kessel Run on screen for the first time.
On the main topic of Dailies Culture Rob and Todd dive into the details, offering up tips on making review sessions with your team more productive, painless, and even enjoyable.
