This week on the fxpodcast, we catch up with longtime friends of fxguide, Chris Nichols and Daniel Thron. Together, they bring more than four decades of combined experience across visual effects and filmmaking. While both are still deeply engaged in their day-to-day creative work, they’re also opening a bold new chapter—exploring the future of modern filmmaking and where the industry is headed. We talk about their current projects, what lies ahead, and their recent experiences at SIGGRAPH, with a spotlight on the growing buzz around gaussian splats.
