Ed Ulbrich discusses the VFX of Benjamin Button

Ed Ulbrich of Digital Domain has become a celebrity thanks to his TED talk on the amazing CG they created for Benjamin Button, creating a completely CG head to replace Brad Pitt.  He sits down with Den of Geek to discuss the process, and unload some fantastic wisdom upon us all.  My favorite is this:

The enemies of technology in the service of creativity are tradition, complacency and fear. People who fall into that tradition become complacent in the tools that they have, or afraid to pioneer and go beyond. And like that, you never will.
