[image title=”img_0539″ size=”medium” id=”481″ align=”left” linkto=”[site_url]/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/img_0539.jpg” ]We had a brilliant time interviewing director George Miller for next week’s Background Fundamentals class at fxphd.com. Miller is an Oscar winner for his work on Happy Feet, but what makes him so interesting is that he is equally known for his action packed Mad Max films, or just as equally known for his family effects films such as Babe, or his serious dramatic pieces like Lorenzo’s Oil. I have to say we have interviewed a lot of people, and a lot of really great inspirational figures in vfx. Many of these interviews have been a joy to do, but this one really was one of the best we have ever done. Miller was thoughtful, generous and funny. He really is an exceptional creative and it was one of this countries most successful film makers ever. While the majority of the interview was for fxphd, we think we have enough good material to also do an fxguidetv episode.
For those of you in fxphd – I am really proud of the effort the team did on this class, and actually for this whole term. One not to be missed !
