    • Design

In this episode of CG Talks, the podcast where CG guys talk about computer graphics, our very special guest is Mr. Louis du Mont, independent digital 3d artist, director, and founder of a small boutique animation studio ‘Weareformation’ based in London. Louis is also a YouTube tutorials creator who shares his Blender knowledge on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/mrlouisman

This time we talk about the covid pandemic and how it impacted both the professional and private life of Louis as well as the CGI industry as a whole. Louis describes his remote-working experience and the pros and cons of it. We take a closer look at Great Britain and London particularly (just because Louis is living and working there) and discuss what were the effects of both Brexit and the pandemic on the computer graphics market. Staying home throughout the lockdowns was surely a good excuse to engage with virtual reality so we took a minute to share our impressions of the latest Unreal 5 Matrixdemo. Is the super immersive VR experience something exciting or rather a menace we should dread? Louis is definitely on the optimistic side expecting more opportunities that the new technology provides. We also touch upon the controversy surrounding the NFT trend in the digital art space.

There are plenty of interesting insights in this episode so enjoy, watch, listen and stay tuned for the next episodes of the CG talks podcast!
