09: Ian Frederick - 3D Designer, On Concert Visuals, Houdini and Hard Work
If you browse Behance as much as I do you might recognize Ian’s work from his wild concert visuals and fan projects. In our conversation he motivated the hell out of me with his self-starter attitude & work ethic. Literally the day after this conversation I signed up for a $700 Houdini course.
07: Joe Garrity - Filmmaker, On Working at Pixar, Screenwriting MFAs, Touring & Being The Messy Twin
Joe Garrity was studying Molecular Biology. Instead he ended up on Saturday Night Live. That lead to a job at Pixar. His coworkers helped him with his (award-winning) short, Twinsburg. Then he went on tour for a while with a Canadian pop band. Now he's getting his MFA in screenwriting.
02: Bradon Webb - Experience Designer, On Concert Visuals, Math and the Multiverse
Combining a love of fine art with a curiosity for code, he has lent his talents to brands such as Dolby, BMW and artists like Amon Tobin. Designing, apps, animations, concert visuals, experiences, and spaces, this man has done it all.
