IIn dieser Podcastfolge beleuchte ich die vielschichtige Welt chinesischer Cyberangriffe und erkläre, wie Chinas Cyberstrategie gezielt Wirtschaft, Politik und Militär im In- und Ausland beeinflusst. Du erfährst, wie Wirtschaftsspionage und technologische Wissensübertragung zentrale Ziele sind – gestützt durch nationale Programme wie „Made in China 2025“ und ambitionierte Fünfjahrespläne. Wir sprechen über die Rolle der Volksbefreiungsarmee (PLA) und neu geschaffener Cyber-Einheiten, die mit modernsten Methoden kritische Infrastrukturen angreifen. Anhand realer Beispiele wie den Operationen APT1, Volt Typhoon und Salt Typhoon zeige ich, wie chinesische Hackergruppen mit ausgefeilten Techniken westliche Unternehmen und Regierungen infiltrieren. Außerdem analysiere ich aktuelle Trends: Von gezielten, schwer erkennbaren Angriffen über den Einsatz von Zero-Day-Exploits bis hin zu Outsourcing an private Dienstleister. Du erfährst, wie China mit strengen Gesetzen und zentralisierter Kontrolle seine Cyberfähigkeiten stetig ausbaut – und warum gerade Deutschland dringend handeln muss, um sich vor chinesischen Cyberangriffen zu schützen.

As a pioneer in digital visual effects, Scott Ross was instrumental in the advancement of VFX in Hollywood. He led groundbreaking work at Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) and co-founded Digital Domain with James Cameron and Stan Winston. Scott looks back on his career, discusses systemic problems within the VFX industry, and possible ways to fix them. Scott began his career in sound recording for television and film in the San Francisco Bay Area for a video production company, becoming president of the San Francisco office. The success of Star Wars ignited a space race for studios, and ILM became the holy grail for VFX artists. “I get a phone call from a headhunter who says, 'Hey, Lucasfilm is looking for somebody to head up production operations at Industrial Light and Magic.' And my head exploded," says Scott. "If you're going to live in San Francisco, you want to work at Lucasfilm. That's how I got hired.” At the time, ILM was creating visual effects for Who Framed Roger Rabbit. His experience in the nascent digital video industry sped up the process, and by 1989, ILM developed a technique to work in a digital medium for making special effects. While Scott was at ILM, the company won five Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects. However, ILM's creative spirit began to wane under corporate pressure. "It turned into cubicles and whatnot," says Ross, favoring a "work hard, play hard" environment. This philosophy fueled his decision to leave and co-found Digital Domain in 1993. “When I started Digital Domain, we're going to play hard, work hard and party hard. And that's the culture that I wanted to create. I think generally we did a pretty good job of it.” Digital Domain became a leading VFX company, creating visual effects for films such as Cameron's Titanic. The VFX industry is notoriously troubled, with visual effects houses underbidding on projects to stay competitive and creating dismal working conditions for employees. “There are certain companies that the only way that they could stay alive is by taking advantage of their employees, not paying them overtime, not having health care,” says Scott. “That really comes as a result of the way the clients, studios and the directors deal with the visual effects companies.” He blames a producer mentality that prioritizes squeezing VFX houses rather than fostering a sustainable industry. “The visual effects industry workers need advocates for themselves. Currently, they have no one fighting for them. They need an international trade association that changes the business model.” Today, effects workers continue to voice their need to form a union. The rise of AI further complicates the picture, with some fearing job replacement.

Tram Le-Jones has an eye for detail, a people-centric personality, and a passion for computer science — making her perfect for VFX production roles. After getting a job on The Matrix Revolutions via craigslist (no, really), she became a sought-after coordinator and then moved into producing VFX for movies including Spider-Man 3, Tower Heist, and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, as well as commercials, moving from west to east coast and back again along the way. Having served on the front line of VFX, Tram has taken her expertise into project management software for media and entertainment, starting with Autodesk's Shotgrid and moving to Backlight's ftrack. Tram talks through her fascinating career, from lugging huge CRTs around Digital Domain's office, to working with Spike Jonze on his short film “I'm Here,” to the challenges of integrating cutting-edge virtual production technology into traditional VFX pipelines.  

Robert Moggach has experienced the full arc of the VFX artist career, from being treated like a rockstar in the early days of CG to working on personal, small-scale indie projects today. Along the way, he's racked up credits on movies including Harry Potter, I, Robot, and Stealth, created ads for the world's biggest brands, bagged a VES award for the Halo ODST trailer, and helped make music videos for the likes of Moby, Muse, Garbage, and Tori Amos. Rob and Chris discuss the dynamics of cloud versus local workflows, the nuances of small-scale creative projects such as the short film Go For Grandma, and the logistical challenges of collaboration across time zones. The conversation culminates in speculation about AI's potential to catalyze new creative forms in Hollywood and beyond.

Today, Isaac has taken his big-screen VFX experience to the fast-paced, tech-heavy world of commercials. He talks about evolving from the limitations of software in the early days of VFX, to Real Steel's perfect pipeline, up to the seemingly limitless possibilities of real-time rendering.
