They’re floating in space. The problem for us is we try to approach everything rendering in a traditional way. Then we try to have all of our tools handle the rest in compositing.

Everybody’s encouraged to speak up in the room. It was never a matter of ‘my idea versus your idea’. It’s this pool of ideas we’re drawing from, thinking, how can we continually push it, and come up with something even better?
