Everything in my working life has been 'on the fly' – I've been winging it for the last 30-odd years... but creatively..! This podcast focusses on people who make things… which is pretty broad I know… but, in particular, I’ve been fortunate to speak to people who make things that inspire me and fire me up to be creative… ...whose process I’m curious about, who stand out from the crowd and who, I know, can teach me a lot. Hopefully there's something in it for you too ;)

[S2 Ep3.2] Hal Hickle (ILM Animation Supervisor)

Hal is an Animation Supervisor at Hollywood visual effects study Industrial Light and Magic and in part one you hear about his journey to ILM via Cal Arts, Will Vinton’s Studio and Pixar!

Thank you so much for downloading this podcast, I’m Jon Gill and this is On The Fly, this episode is the second and final part of my chat with Hal Hickle.

I’m very grateful to Hal for his time and a lot of time at that… we chatted for just over 2 and a half hours…

And in this episode we get into the role of the Animation Supervisor as well as how the shot design in The Mandalorian was based on shots from the original Star Wars Trilogy and more…

However we start with Yoda and the evolution of the 80s puppet to the digital bouncing frog of the prequals…

Please subscribe to OnTheFly to make sure you never miss an episode!

So thanks again for listening, this is OnTheFly with Jon Gill & Hal Hickle – dial-up the pod!
