Early in my career, we used to joke about how people thought visual effects were made.

00:00:06.760 --> 00:00:13.400
There seemed to be this assumption that we had some magical button in our software that would do everything for us.

00:00:13.700 --> 00:00:16.290
Push a button, and there’s your animation.

00:00:16.590 --> 00:00:23.150
Move a slider, and suddenly you have a realistic explosion or some incredible visual effect.

00:00:23.770 --> 00:00:28.020
We would laugh about it because we knew just how far that was from reality.

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.000
What people didn’t see were the countless hours of work behind those images.
