The new-look Informed Sauce website will also feature a magazine-style podcast with a regular group of contributors and a rolodex-full of guests. The first programme will appear in early May..
Standalone feature will punctuate the regular mixture of opinions, insights and conversation. To give you an idea of what to expect from these features, here’s the first of two from the archives.
In 1993, Rushes Technical Director Mark Wildig attended the annual NAB tech fest in Las Vegas and stumbled across a radical new 2D compositing system from Canadian upstarts discreet logic. It is, you could say, the trip that lit the flame that changed the Soho VFX industry forever.
In this, the second Informed Sauce Podcast Preview from the archives, Mark, by then co-founder and Technical Director of Smoke & Mirrors, fellow Smoke & Mirrors co-founder Sean Broughton, former Rushes colleague Mike Uden, then current Rushes MD Joce Capper and Flame artist Paul Hannaford talk about how they bought the first Flame in London, how it was installed on their premises in Old Compton Street – no mean feat – and the first jobs it was used on – the Canon “man made out of paper” printer commercial, Guns ‘n’ Roses’ ‘Estranged’ promo and the iconic ‘Bullit’ Ford Puma commercial featuring Steve McQueen.
