Podcast appearances and mentions of hugo guerra

Hugo Guerra is the dictionary definition of multitasking. Having taken his eye for compositing into directing short films and commercials, and supervising VFX, Hugo fills his spare time with producing content for his successful YouTube channel and recording the VFX Notes podcast with Ian Failes. If that's not enough, he's also produced a cookbook with his wife. Hugo talks about his early career in Portugal and how he took his love for movies into short films, and then compositing and directing. He also tells you why you need to go on-set, talks about the benefits of teaching, gives his thoughts on AI and “invisible” CGI, and reveals the inner workings of YouTube.  

Son grupos organizados con un enorme poder logístico, operativo, comercial y con relaciones transnacionales, por tanto, con grandes impactos en las economías.   Pero al revisar su portafolio de bienes y servicios se encienden todas las alarmas. Entre ellos se encuentran el tráfico internacional de drogas, armas, contrabando, extorsión y minería ilegal.   Sus actividades se extienden de forma macabra al tráfico y trata de personas, asaltos y asesinatos. Otras operaciones las han logrado “blanquear” y son negocios legales surgidos desde la ilegalidad.   Las economías criminales son una realidad acerca de la cual hay que actuar con políticas públicas, no solo a lo interno de las naciones sino también internacionalmente, pues es necesario enfrentarlas dado el deterioro que causan a la institucionalidad democrática.   Aprovechando la presentación de un libro acerca de este candente tema, conversaremos con el Brigadier General de la reserva activa de la Policía Nacional de Colombia, Juan Carlos Buitrago y con Víctor Hugo Guerra, especialista en comercio ilícito para el continente y editor de la publicación.

No final dos anos 90, um grupo de estudantes de Caldas da Rainha resolveu filmar uma paródia propositadamente má com ninjas assassinos, vilões tenebrosos, braços decepados e sangue... muito sangue. O inesperado aconteceu nos anos seguintes, ao transformar-se num dos mais bizarros fenómenos virais do cinema amador em Portugal. A TV por cabo e o advento da internet acabariam por tornar O Ninja das Caldas numa lenda audiovisual.O seu autor é hoje um prolífero diretor de efeitos visuais para cinema e videojogos e está a milhas daquilo que, ironicamente, é ainda o seu mais mediático trabalho. Pelo menos por terras lusas. Hoje sentamos Hugo Guerra no cadeirão e obrigamo-lo a sentir "a supremacia da dor!"

Nuke is the better tool... ...for compositing. After Effects is king in many areas (like animation) that are important to us Motion Designers, but Nuke is a far more powerful tool for compositing things like VFX and 3D passes. Now, as a Motion Designer you might think that knowing compositing is a waste of your time, but if you’ve hung around School of Motion long enough you know that compositing is a super important skill that every MoGrapher should know at least a little bit of. Not only will you be able to land more jobs, you’ll also be able to think like a compositor which is a very valuable skill to have in your arsenal. Compositing Pro-Tips from a Master. In this episode of our Podcast Joey is going to pick the brain of Hugo Guerra, who is an absolute compositing genius. Hugo is so good at what he does that he ran the entire Nuke division at The Mill in London. He also has a YouTube channel called Hugo’s Desk where he shows you how to composite like a pro. Hugo drops a TON of knowledge bombs in this one and by the end of it you’ll be itching to dive deep into the compositing world, and maybe even learn some Nuke yourself.
