Episode Notes

This week, everything blows up.

We talk to Lawrence and Ken Littleton, two brothers that also happened to work on the most iconic shot of the entire movie: the White House blowing up. We get the nitty gritty of post-production details on this movie, including the 9 month/7-day-a-week work schedule the brothers had to adhere to while finishing the movie.

We also try to get answers on the dolphin motif, talk about social proof in communication, and being on the bleeding edge of digital compositing. We also talk about the very real labor abuses happening in the visual effects industry and the absolutely ludicrous lifestyle required to survive in blockbuster filmmaking today.
