This week on the Cinematic Immunity Podcast, Kimberley Browning gives us 
great insight into the world of independent film making. As a film festival 
director herself for Hollywood Shorts, she has screened, programmed and 
been an active participant in the complex world of independent film where 
crtically acclaimed and financially viable films go to live or die.  We dig 
deep into how new forms of technology are good for people that dont have 
other outlets of expressing themselves and how race plays into the politics 
of the entertainment business.

This week on Cinematic Immunity we discuss the world of post production effects with Nuke Compositor, Evan Langley.  This is a show where we dig into the nitty gritty of how to keep up with the scale of VFX and how a movie can have 1000 names in the post production credit sequence and still come out on schedule by sourcing the work out worldwide.

Ep. 41: Evan Langley - Nuke Compositor

Picking up where we left off, we dig into the gritty detail of visual effects in the entertainment industry with Visual Effects Director of Photography Mark Weingartner.  In this part of the conversation, we talk about the aesthetic of visual effects and how the audience reaction has changed over the years.  We discuss the difference between special effects, visual effects and how they have advanced to where they are now. Mark explains the the ACES color correction system in detail and we also talk in depth about his work shooting extensive visual effects for some of Hollywood's biggest movies including his work with a custom designed "plate mobile" and more from the "Batman" trilogy.

On this week's show, we air the first half of our interview with Mark Weingartner, Visual Effects Director of Photography, who came down to the studio and took the time to explain some of the most complex visual effects sequences and talk about his experiences that led him to be one of the leading Directors of Photography for Visual Effects in Hollywood.  We talk about how to make "grist for the digital mill" and the distinction between visual effects and practical effects and we discovered that sometimes, talking about guilty movie pleasures can be more fun than talking about the big shows as we loop back around three times to Under Siege!
