Practical/Digital Modeller and Puppeteer Mark Siegel (Industrial Light & Magic) | CGI Fridays - Episode 1
From clown college to CGI, practical modeller turned digital modeller Mark Siegel talks Ghostbusters, Star Wars, ET, Planet of the Apes, Van Helsing, Pirates of the Caribbean, and getting into the visual effects industry in Ed Kramer’s CGI Fridays podcast. If you’re looking for entry points into the industry, then Mark Siegel is a pretty unorthodox example, but perhaps that’s what makes it so inspiring. His career goes from a slapstick starting point to sculpting Klingon foreheads in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock to puppeteering some of 80s cinema’s craziest critters in Ghostbusters, and then into the emerging field of CGI as a stalwart of Industrial Light and Magic.
