Coming from a background in forestry, Lucas Ridley, made the shift to animation and has worked on HUGE projects such as Avengers: Infinity War, Ready Player One, Suicide Squad, and one of our favorites: The Last of Us Part II.

We talk to Lucas about how he got into animating, how much goes into working on even the smallest of movements, and what it was like working with Steven Spielberg!
