Customer Reviews
Exceptional
This has been one of the most informative podcasts I could find on filmmaking. I appreciate the deep dive into practical effects (miniatures, forced perspective, etc) as much as the VFX.
Fantastic insights
Ian gives great insight to film and tv lovers in an approachable and conversational way. A great listen
