The sleeper has awakened! Mike Seymour, Jason Diamond, and Matt Wallin fold space to find the Kwisatz Haderach on the latest retro episode of the VFX Show as we explore David Lynch’s divisive 1984 epic, Dune.

TyRuben Ellingson

On episode two, I chat with my good friend of 28 years, TyRuben Ellingson. Ty has worked as a visual effects art director, concept designer, director, producer, fine artist, and now educator. His story is a fascinating one and his impressive list of credits include; Jurassic Park, Avatar, Star Wars: Episode IV (The Special Edition), Casper, Disclosure, Hellboy, Blade 2, Mimic, Elysium, Pacific Rim, and Battle Los Angeles. Today Ty and I work together again in higher education at Virginia Commonwealth University in the School of the Arts in Richmond, VA.

Eight-one Eleven

Eighty-one eleven is hosted by visual effects artist and VCUarts Professor Matt Wallin, V.E.S. (also co-host of FX Guide's VFX Show podcast). Each episode is a conversation with a guest who worked at George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic during its 40+ year history. Guests discuss their journeys and career paths, and how working at ILM changed them.

But its really just an excuse to catch up with old friends. New episodes every Monday.
