The Negative Space Podcast Negative Space

Hello Everybody! Who hasn't fallen pray to some insidious Twitter drama? Our guest today, the amazing Helen Chen has come to talk to us about some common twitter discourse for us to talk about and shine some light into the topics a lot of people seem to focus about!
We are sure by now everyone is familiar with Helen's work, but for those of you who don't know, she has been a visual development artist on films such as Raya and the Last Dragon, Wreck it Ralph, Big Hero 6 and is currently working on the upcoming K-POP: Demon Hunters.

Hey everyone! Today we are talking to a true maverick of the VR industry. The one and only Lawrence Bennett! He is the co-founder of No Ghost, an immersive reality studio based in London, UK. Together with James (yes, the co-host of this podcast) he developed Madrid Noir, a VR film which just released on the Oculus Quest. We will talk together about the challenges of working in VR, how he transitioned from his VFX job into this new and untamed industry and how hard was working with James.

Also, there are some obscure references to Matrix: Reloaded, let us know if you spot them.
