#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:

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