  • Ep 58: Ellen Shelley
    I sat down with Senior Lighting Artist Ellen Shelley! We discussed just how necessary higher education is, and took a deep dive into lighting art as a career, how to get there and what the day to day looks like. We also talked about our artistic taste when it comes to lighting including the aesthetic of raytraced lighting.

  • Ep 53 : Josh Lynch
    Josh has got the hatrick! This is an important episode of the podcast, we talk about the problems in the way game art careers are structured that means that 10 year mark artists can stall out, seniors feeling pressured to jump into lead roles even though they have no desire to be a manager and the We vs ME mentality!
