The latest James Bond film, “Skyfall,” captured the attention of movie-goers around the world, and inspired other to emulate its effects. Recently, Sony created “Mouse and Cat,” a TV, print and web-based campaign which leverages the James Bond franchise. Two leads of the effects team that created the broadcast commercial join us this week to talk about their work: Navarro Parker and Bradley “Gmunk” Munkowitz. We want to learn what they they did, the tools they used, and how they went about planning their effects. This will be an exciting interview.
