LD038 - Ellen Shelley from The Chinese Room

I sat down with Senior Lighting Artist Ellen Shelley! We discussed just how necessary higher education is, and took a deep dive into lighting art as a career, how to get there and what the day to day looks like. We also talked about our artistic taste when it comes to lighting including the aesthetic of raytraced lighting. .Ellen’s ArtStation ⯈  https://www.artstation.com/artofel .Listen on Spotify ⯈ https://open.spotify.com/show/7spDMpMZJ9dr3Ziu8bRwCAListen on SoundCloud ⯈ https://soundcloud.com/gamedevdiscussionListen on iTunes ⯈ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/game-dev-discussion/id1459400002Listen on YouTube ⯈ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKfTBvcsO9Kw0b5EVuf4CJQ.Follow my Artstation⯈ https://www.artstation.com/alexbeddows/blogFollow my twitter ⯈ https://twitter.com/BeddowsDesign

Ep 58: Ellen Shelley

Ryan Benno

We've got another art-focused episode for you this month as we're joined by Ryan (environment artist on Hunted: The Demon's Forge, The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead, Sunset Overdrive, Ratchet and Clank, and the senior environment artist on Marvel's Spider-Man. He's also one of the hosts of the Environment Art Podcast) and Ellen (currently a lighting artist at Supermassive Games, previously a 3D artist at Sony’s London Studio, a 3D Environment Artist at Little Wolf Studio Ltd, and a VR developer at Yelo Architects) to talk about whether degrees are necessary anymore to find work, where do you start when making an environment, style guides, navigating creative disagreements, environmental storytelling, the overabundance of sci-fi hallways, narrative/visual techniques that games still haven’t tried much, soft cardboard boxes, starting with the blank page, the difference between making a twentysomething-year-old’s apartment vs Peter Parker’s apartment, what can’t you tweak when you’re building an environment that everyone knows, breaking walls that were not meant to break, readability, accessibility, and know that not everything you make needs to be at 11. Our Guests on the Internet Ryan on Twitter. Ellen on Twitter. Stuff We Talked About Artstation Marvel's Spider-Man Hunted: The Demon's Forge Our theme music was composed by 2Mello, and our logo was created by Lily Nishita.
