In the episode DJ and Emlyn discuss the history of founding Bomper Studio,The ups and downs of the animation industry (including the recent massive layoffs) and the rise of interest in Blender among many studios. We also talk about the creative process behind the visuals for the Foo Fighter videos and how to get such a great job commission. All of this in a friendly and chilled atmosphere with not a single mention about AI (how strange for a CGI podcast these days), but a few mentions of dragons from Wales and Poland instead.

Listen and enjoy!
