So having that intense curiosity to want to chase those things down, because it's always inconvenient, right?

There's never enough time.

There's always risk that it's not going to work.

But that's one of the things that I think people in general who are attracted to this company to work,

they come with a lot of curiosity and a little bit of dissatisfaction of the status quo.

We can do this better.

Yes.

I love that.

So I'm so interested as, I mean, that's a innovative move to do at the Smithsonian.

How did you, do you run into a lot of resistance or do people who are pushing the state of the art in museums, do, is there a lot of resistance to the status quo or is there a lot of like invitation?

Yeah, absolutely.

Especially as we look at new tools, we look at AI, making sure first that we position it the right way, that it's not about replacing artists.

It's about empowering artists and making our craft as efficient as possible, giving everybody the right tools.

I think that's when if everybody gets on board with that, then we're headed in a useful direction, which I think is really interesting.

I love that question.

That's exactly what we do.

And sometimes we look back at some of those original shots in the original Star Wars and the craft that went into them is

Well, first, things like shot composition and those kind of things, those are timeless.

So there's lessons to be learned from the people who invented visual effects, some of whom we still get to work with, so we can ask them questions about how they approached it.
