#27 – Stu Musings

Seven hours is a big time difference to deal with when trying to synchronise a podcast with two people.

To help with that, Todd and I figured adding some extra single features to help keep the show moving.

At Pinewood studios, I was teaching a great class which had me thinking a lot about what we teach and why. I seized the moment to share my observations which briefly were:

When and why to premake pieces way in advance versus fabricating something up directly onto the skin.
The difference between knowing about something and mastering it.
Keeping a record of your efforts when trying to solve a problem.
It’s hard to be subtle – heavy handed is way easier to do.
The importance of mixing the correct base tone to your appliance material.
Making v buying fake blood.
