26. Peter Demarest - Compositing Supervisor for Boba Fett and The Mandalorian - now at Pixar

This week I chat with Peter Demarest, compositing supervisor on Boba Fett and The Mandalorian, as well as working on some of the most iconic shots and movies for the past decade, such as The Avengers, Avatar, Jurassic World, and the Star Wars films. I saw Peter's reel a few weeks back and was just blown away, so wanted to reach out and chat to him, and here's that chat!Take a look at Peter's compositing showreel  - there's a link below. I loved this chat, we talked about Peter's career and some specific films and turning points in compositing, and also how the role has changed and is changing with virtual production on projects like Boba Fett and The Mandalorian. Peter's recently started at Pixar, so we also touched on how the role of compositing is changing in animated features. Regardless of whether you think you're interested in compositing or not, I encourage you to dig into this episode, because I always find that I learn the most from episodes I least expect to, not just here, but in other podcasts as well.Enjoy!Peter's Compositing reelPeter's IMDBPlease remember to like, rate, and comment on your favorite podcasting platform and share the episode on social media.If you have any comments or suggestions please get in touch. Host & Producer: Michael WakelamExecutive Producer: Eric M.
