Todd McCaffrey was born to Anne McCaffrey on April 27th, 1956. The then-named Todd Johnson came into the world as a rather precocious middle child. Anyone who questions the precocious part has only to read some of the anecdotes in “Dragonholder” to have any doubt removed. He spent most of his childhood on the East Coast of the USA until moving to Dublin, Ireland with his mother and sister in 1970. Like most of the boys growing up in the '60s, McCaffrey became space mad. However, unlike most of the other young men running around their yards in pretend helmets and throwing toy rockets into the air, he was given a “complete” set of the actual Lunar Module Pilot Study Guides in 1968. The number of hours spent devouring them repeatedly from cover to cover is evident in the fact that he has been known to quote excerpts from them during convention panels. When the time came for him to pursue higher education, McCaffrey attended Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, for a year—and hated it. But he did discover one of the great loves of his life while he was there, computers. He graduated with Honors—or rather, “Honours”—in 1985 from Trinity College, Dublin. Having never lost his love for space, he left Ireland for Los Angeles, California, in the hopes of working in the aerospace Find out more at: pernhome.com/tjm/ STEVEN L.

Originally Broadcast 2020/03/07: When a podcast has been around for years, sometimes we repeat topics, but often with a new perspective. Next week we'll discuss video game ratings as well, so enjoy this first pass from the past! Does anyone of the generation who grew up with video games have an excuse to not understand how much (or rather, how little) video games affect people? So many buy Rated M games for their kids, completely ignoring the rating altogether. Which begs the question: just who are these ratings for? Vinnk and Sean go over a completely non-linear history of video game ratings, how Night Trap for Sega CD helped start the ratings firestorm, and they have evolved more into advertisements than effective parental warnings.

Marco Bucci began to study classical drawing at age 19, which led him to kindle a love for painting and illustration. He hasn't looked back since.  His experience includes books, film, animation, and advertising. His clients include: Walt Disney Publishing Worldwide, LEGO, LucasArts, Mattel Toys, Fisher-Price, Hasbro, Nelvana, GURU Studio, C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures, Yowza! Animation Inc., Pipeline Studios, and more. Marco is also a passionate teacher, and currently teaches "The Art Of Color & Light" at CGMA, a course specifically designed to build painting fundamentals from the ground up. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/marcobucci In this episode, Marco discusses: -How he learned how to learn to draw. -The way in which he pursued art after abandoning it as something that he wasn’t as good as other people who “could draw.” -How the path to your goal is never a straight line and how you should embrace the fact that the path will be curved. -The labor of love that is his YouTube channel. -The way in which he plans and structures his YouTube videos. -Trying to solve problems before starting a piece. -How to avoid paralysis during the creation process. -The difference between art and creativity. -How we are all born with creative curiosity and don’t question it (or our skills) until later. -How he always tries to push himself to do something new with each piece of art so that he doesn’t become complacent and rely on any formulas. -The battle between hard work and fun. -Starting small so that you can have small successes before taking on a big project like writing a book. -Not fully defining the path that you are going to take to become the artist you want to be, and being willing and excited to venture off into new directions. -How his short film Cindy, with Bryce Sage came to be. Marco's Final Push will remind you that it’s better to create bad stuff than it is to not create anything, so get out there and create something!   Quotes: “I didn’t have the inborn talent to draw and my jealousy became a stubborn resolve to figure out this whole drawing thing.” “I never realized that drawing was a skill you could actually learn so I thought I was doomed from the start.  But it turns out you can learn to draw.” “A big part of the creative process is discovery.  You have to be able to make a right turn when you should have gone left and only discover that later.” “We’re all born with the desire to create and so many of us snuff out our own flames.  It’s such a tragedy.” “I try my best to not repeat the thing I just did.  Even if the thing I did was a huge hit.” “Start small and don’t bite off more than you can chew.” “When it comes to becoming an artist, don’t try to preordain your own path to success.” “It’s better to create bad stuff than it is to not create anything.” Links mentioned: Sketching With Focus [From Marco's YouTube channel] Creativity and the Campfire by Marco Bucci CINDY - a love story Meet SpaceX's First Moon Voyage Customer, Yusaku Maezawa Your Creative Push Ep. 306: Softly conquer the world!

Welcome to Interview Reenactment Theater, where we recreate some of the greatest video game interviews of all time.

In this interview he explains why FMV is the future and how he couldn't care less about Link's plight in The Legend of Zelda.

Digital Pictures was a pioneer in the world of interactive full motion video, bringing a cinematic feel to games at a time when players were used to two dimensional sprites. Their titles, which included Night Trap, Sewer Shark, Corpse Killer, Supreme Warrior, the Make My Video series, and many more, spanned a number of genres … Continued
