A month ago we put on our fourth TechFestNW. Every Saturday we'll be rolling out videos of our many engaging speakers, who explored topics ranging from drones to digital storytelling to the future of virtual reality. In this first video, Clark James, president of HIVE – a Portland based Visual FX+Animation studio, talks about the challenges and joys of special effects and why hair is the trickiest thing to animate.
