BLOG QUESTION: LUCASFILM FIELD TRIP REFLECTION

After hearing James Tooley speak at Lucasfilm, what insight or piece of advice from his experience in filmmaking and visual storytelling stood out to you the most?

I think the fact that he started off with no animation experience and only had a passion for art, but later developed his skills in mathematics and computer science after interning at Disney and joining industrial light and magic was inspiring to me because he managed to combine STEM with art, making a successful career for himself. I never realized how much STEM is involved in visual effects, and I always assumed it just involved having artistic and technology capabilities. I also thought it was really cool how he managed to find a career with the company that sparked his passion for visual effects.
