About this episode
In this episode of the Filmumentaries podcast, I speak with Martin Meunier, a French visual effects artist who shares his journey from a childhood fascination with Star Wars to a successful career in the film industry. Martin discusses his early experiences in France, his move to the US, and his work on notable films like James and the Giant Peach and Starship Troopers. He reflects on the influence of Star Wars on his career, the importance of connections in the industry, and the transition from practical effects to digital modeling. The conversation also touches on the challenges of burnout and the pursuit of creative fulfillment. All the links This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.
