Today I’m joined by the wonderful Scott Squires, who might be known to Star Wars fans as one of the three groundbreaking Visual Effects Supervisors for The Phantom Menace.
His career is inspiring and really incredible, ranging from working with Douglas Trumbull on Close Encounters of the Third Kind (where he developed the Cloud Tank Effect) and receiving Academy Award nominations for The Mask, Dragonheart, and, of course, Episode I.
Audio is a little funky on my end, since I was moving studios at the time, so please bear with us! It’s a fantastic conversation.
