I've been learning from Nick and Greyscale Gorilla since 2006 (and still am). It's great to finally hear Nick's origin story. Thanks for sharing!
Nick is cool guy doing some really phenomenal work through GSG thanks for interviewing him!
Most welcome buddy! Nick is an amazing person, you would love this episode.
Super inspiring! GSG ist a muste have for freelancers! Wouldn`t it be cool, if GSG had a little department, that also made actual client projects? The Plus members could benefit from the whole process and BTS. What the first client call and briefing was, how big the budget was, how to solve those client problems WITH their assets. That would be the whole package man. All the assets + the REAL how to. For Solo Freelancers, that would be huge. I think the whole financial/client business side of things is still a big big mystery to a lot of freelancers (including me). Just an idea. :))
Thank you very much for this interview! Loved it. I started CGI thanks to GrayScaleGorilla, and now cut to 10 years later I was able to work in several big studios. And it all started like you guys talk. Passion, challenge every day and a big huge drive to get "there"
That is awesome! Great job buddy.... Thank you for watching this episode!
@@badxstudio :) It's so crazy to think as well that you guys could be inspiring the next "James Cameron" or "George Lucas" of the future! Really great jobs! keep it up! great content!
As a Blender beginner it was cool to hear Nick's backstory and his words of wisdom. Awesome interview guys! Very inspirational!
Totally agreed! We loved Nick's story.
