Subsurface Talks Podcast presents an episode with Emlyn Davies a Welsh animator and founder of Bomper Studio in Caerphilly, Wales. Emlyn and his team have done some incredible work including two videos for the Foo Fighters.
In the episode, DJ and Emlyn discuss the history of founding Bomper Studio, the ups and downs of the animation industry (including the recent massive layoffs), and the rise of interest in Blender among many studios (including Emlyn and his team - something for people who still ask the question:’Is Blender used by professional studios?’). We also talk about the creative process behind the visuals for the Foo Fighters videos and how to get such a great job commission. All of this in a friendly and chilled atmosphere with not a single mention of AI (how strange for a CGI podcast these days), but a few mentions of dragons from Wales and Poland instead.
Here’s the episode:
