    About this Episode

    Jim Logiudice helped shape my childhood and he had no idea the impact he had. When I was a kid, movies like the Rocketeer inspired me to want to create models and props. I remember building a Rocketeer helmet and jet pack when I was a kid. How cool is it that 27 years later I would be recording this episode with the guy who built the actual prop. We geek out about prop building and then get very real about the reality of a live in the industry. I was so encourage and inspired by Jim’s perspective on what really matters in life and in business.

    In this episode we talk about:

    • His projects inspired me as a kid
    • Finding out people got paid to make models
    • Trying to get a job instead of college
    • Walking into the studio and getting hired
    • Working on Flubber and Armagetton
    • Deadlines and quick tunrarounds
    • Being done with the industry
    • Why we don’t live in LA
    • When 9 to 5 becomes 5 to 9
    • Vintage cars are magic
    • Working on old houses
    • Restoring original Disneyland props
    • Building the Rocketeer Jet Pack
    • Taking consistent work over exciting projects
    • Why people get out of this business
    • The speed of production makes it tough for people to break in
    • Making Ice picks for David Blaine
    • Getting burnt out
    • puppets for fun

    … and saving some of the joy for yourself
