Hello and welcome to episode 8 of The Closing Credits Podcast.
Today, I interviewed Academy Award winning Industrial Light & Magic
Animation Supervisor, Hal Hickel. In this episode, we spoke about
his different work on various films, working on his first
television show, The Mandalorian, when does one decide to use
practicals vs VFX or a mix of both, animating digital humans, and
if deep fakes are helpful to the industry.
