0:00:00 Introduction
0:03:54 I have a trashed original Kenner Y-Wing from 1983 that I want to repaint. Is Duplicolor rattle can primer topped with acrylic model paint a good or bad idea?
0:06:02 Is there a certain spot within the cave that you or the crew finds logistically most awkward to film in?
0:08:20 In your filmography, you managed to work with Robin Williams 4 or 5 times. I was wondering if you had any stories about him? What, if any, interactions did you have with him?
0:20:14 I found a video that shows United Airlines is planning on using a boarding method that you and Jamie tested: windows, middle then aisle seats. What do you think? Will this be successful for the airline?
0:22:54 What would be your top 5 life advices?
0:33:25 Next week I will be the expert on an episode of a well known UK TV series. I have never been in front of a camera, and what I have to repair is almost second nature to me as I have been doing it for 50 years. But the thought of being watched is worrying me. Any advice?
0:37:07 Many makers and artists fall into the trap of “waiting” to be inspired. Any thoughts on making or creating everyday day regardless of inspiration?
0:39:57 How much time do you spend actually creating vs managing your business? Do you wish you had more/less time?
0:41:40 I’ve enjoyed the interviews you’ve done with ILM about the making of and filming the models for the Razor Crest, Ahsoka’s Jedi Shuttle, & most recently the Onyx Cinder. You’ve alluded to how much Jon Favreau and Guillermo Del Toro love doing practical effects as well. Do you think the practical effects bring something different from a storytelling perspective to a film or show? Put another way, do practical effects such as these models lead the filmmaker and/or storyteller to tell their stories differently than they would with all digital effects?
0:46:16 So as a new homeowner, I've begun to realize the need for all sorts of home improvement projects and tools and supplies. It can be overwhelming! How do you balance between what you WANT, what you NEED, and what you can AFFORD to get done? Also any other tips for a new homeowner who's also about to be a newlywed?
0:52:09 (EDITOR's NOTE: There was a hiccup/glitch that cut off this question but most of the answer remains) You talk about how your cave is your sanctuary and the place where you can center yourself. You also invite other makers to collaborate with you in your space. My question is: How difficult is it to open your cave up to others? Are you able to relax or do you find yourself hovering?
0:55:02 You showed off a tool called a sine bar, but you didn’t really show how it’s used.Could you demonstrate how it works?have you ever built a custom rig or a specific tool to do one very particular job?
0:55:43 How to choose between a passion that doesn’t yet bring income and a job that does but doesn’t bring joy? And how to overcome the fear of starting something new?
