"We spoke to Richard . . . to discuss the advances in ILM StageCraft 2.0 that were used for the new LED stage built for the second season. The new stage is not only bigger, but the team pioneered new techniques that could have a profound effect on how such stages are conceived moving forward."

(video) I've only sampled a few portions of this discussion but it looks interesting.

A recent question brought up this thread of useful resources for the scientifically-inclined colorist.

Wondering why it's hard to find GPUs for your main production rig? "[Iran] is now allegedly hosting 14 large mining farms that consume around 300 megawatts of power. This is comparable to the power consumption of a city with 100K inhabitants." That's a lot of GPUs.
