You did that, now you can do this.' It was a process of getting in touch with this person, waiting this out, going and doing this on the side.

When I say led to, it was never so straightforward. That, after a while, led me to a PA gig at ILM through that intern led to LucasArts. You know, so there are different tellings of a tale like that, since it's such a broad, open question, but going all the way back, it started with a second semester senior year internship at Disney Imagineering. Mark Christiansen: I would love to say it was all part of some grand plan, but in fact, I was clueless and lucky. How did you find yourself working in this field doing what you do? I thought maybe we could start by just kind of getting the brief history of Mark Christiansen. I looked at your LinkedIn, I looked at your IMDb page, and you've just got this really, really impressive resume. I think a lot of our listeners have probably heard your name around the industry, because you've been in this industry in various capacities throughout your career. Yeah, I'm very excited about this podcast. Joey Korenman: Well, Mark, we've been spending a lot of time together, and I actually realized when I was writing the questions for this that I have all these questions for you that I've never actually asked you, even having the opportunity to do so. Because of that, I'm indebted to you guys. I am now only limited by my imagination when it comes to animation. I had 17 years of experience before I did their courses, and once I had done the courses, I wanted to trash my portfolio and start afresh. Lee Williamson: My name's Lee Williamson, and I am a School of Motion alumni. Right after we hear from one of our amazing alumni. Joey Korenman: We are going to talk to Mark now right after. It's got nostalgia, interesting historical trivia about our industry, some celebrity cameos, and tons of practical tips for doing compositing in After Effects. We talk about his experience working on huge feature films and other assorted projects, and we talk about what he dives into in VFX for Motion.

In this episode, we go back in time to talk about Mark's experience comping shots for Rebel Assault II, one of my favorite PC games ever. Joey Korenman: He's also brilliant and hilarious, which you are about to learn. He has also worked at Industrial Light & Magic, LucasArts, the legendary studio, The Orphanage. He wrote the book, After Effects Studio Techniques. Mark Christiansen has quite literally written the book on doing compositing in After Effects. We did not skimp on the instructor either. We pulled out all the stops on this, producing a pretty large scale shoot to get elements for you to work with, bringing on designers like Nidia Dias, David Brodeur, Matt Naboshek, and Ariel Costa to provide designs and elements.
