Category: The VFX Rundown Show
The VFX Rundown is a show researched and produced by Samuel Collett. Enjoy listening to these recordings on a variety of topics.
This page is a low priority resource page. If you want more content at higher quality more often(sounds awesome right?) head over to the blog or UNMASK+. This is because all the time I spend recording these is time taken away from writing for the blog and recording/editing videos. Time is limited and I have decided that this is worth far less of my time than some other types of content.
If you do wish to hear about something in particular please still let me know and I’ll be sure to make a plan about it.
Happy Listening,
-Samuel Collett
