Keep Going Podcast: An animation expert talks about the moment when artists pushed against AI
Published 3 years, 6 months ago
Description
Remington Scott knows how to build amazing digital worlds. He's the technologist who brought us Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies, a motion-captured character that was one of the first and most compelling motion-captured characters in cinema history. But, for a few years, he was persona non grata in Hollywood. Why? Because the artists were afraid of his technology and felt that it reduced their work to something less than real. He talks about his fight in this podcast that reminds us that almost every new technology gets a bad rap on day one.
Our theme music is by Policy AKA Mark Buchwald. (https://freemusicarchive.org/music/policy/)
