Behind the Star Wars Curtain w/Hal Hickel
This week we talk to legendary Academy and BAFTA award winning ILM Animation Supervisor Hal Hickel. Hal has been the Animation Supervisor on numerous films like Iron Man, Pacific Rim, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Most recently he is acting as the Animation Supervisor on The Mandalorian. We pick Hal's brain and get an in depth look at how The Mandalorian is made and what it takes to make it look as great as it does.
This discussion is a must listen for Star Wars fans and film industry nerds.
