The Value of Effort in Visual Effects and Artistry

Ian Hubert is a legendary Blender VFX artist who is best known for directing the Blender open movie project, Tears of Steel, authoring the Lazy Tutorial series on YouTube, and creating the mesmerizing dystopian sci-fi short film series, Dynamo Dream. 

Lampel and Kent caught up with Ian at BCON LA to find out what it's been like to scale up his productions, where his inspiration comes from, the one time he used AI, and a weird shift he's noticed in the creative landscape.
