When life hands you a BIG bunch of lemons, not all of us can make lemonade. But… Bruce Nazarian, The Digital Guy, has spent the last several months working on a new event called “The Lemonade Weekend 2.” It’s four days of great musical events taking place in historic Hollywood, March 20-23, 2014.

From hard-to-create fire, smoke, and gunshot visuals, to more complex visual stock elements, Sean and his team have invented some amazing visual effects. This week, he talks about the process of creating visual effects, how they decide what to create, and what some of his most challenging titles have been.
