#33 - Day in the Life: Lighting Artist

CG Lighters are truly the unsung heroes of the 3D animation pipeline. In fact, often when people say “The animation looks so good,” they are really talking about the lighting! Being at the back of the pipeline, lighters face extreme crunches and work harder than anyone else to get our movies across the finish line. Today we are talking with two incredible Disney artists, Justine Codron Moulayess and Mason Khoo, about their day to day jobs. Tune in to learn how Justine and Mason first got into lighting, what softwares they use, the do’s and don’ts of a lighting demo reel, and more! Check out our detailed show-notes here!
