    Visual Effects Artist Allan McKay Makes Robots Fight for Your Enjoyment

    Welcome to Episode 52 of Products of the Mind. On this episode, I speak with Allan McKay, founder of Catastrophic FX. Allan has done visual effects for loads of blockbuster movies, including Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Star Trek Into Darkness, 2012, Superman Returns, and Looper (a personal favorite of mine.) We talk about how a visual effect goes from conception to the final product that you see on screen, how the creative process works, and why visual effects production is moving all over the world. The latter topic is addressed in this recent New York Times article (which I reference in the interview) – there’s a race to the bottom which is costing lots of VFX artists their jobs, so we spend quite a bit of time talking this through.

    Election Special - Electronic Voting with Lori Steele Contorer of Everyone Counts

    Welcome to Episode 49 of Products of the Mind. On this episode, I speak with Lori Steele Contorer, Founder-CEO of Everyone Counts, an electronic voting company. Lori went from knowing nothing about the voting process to founding a company dedicated to making voting easier, more secure, and more transparent. How does paper voting actually work, and what are the downsides of the traditional methods? How did Lori learn everything she needed to know to start this business? How do you convince risk-averse bureaucrats to sign on with your electronic voting startup? Most of us just go to the polls and don’t give much though to what happens after you turn in your ballot and get your sticker. In this episode, we learn all the secrets of the voting process. Find out more about Lori Steele Contorer and Everyone Counts at EveryoneCounts.com. Thanks for Checking Out Products of the Mind!
