Happy Sunday & Happy Mother's Day!

I've got my coffee in hand and your weekly dose of content coming in hot - grab your coffee of choice and let's dive right in.

First up, since "May the 4th Be with You" was last week, I thought it would only be fitting to share some Star Wars content. Scene Spotlight has a fascinating behind the screens video covering the innovative virtual backgrounds that were used to film The Mandalorian. In this video, they talk about the technological and creative innovation behind virtual backgrounds and how they differ from traditional green screen backgrounds.

Next up, Focus Features has a great series called "Reel Destinations" about the locations that make our favorite movies come to life. In this episode, host Alicia Malone explores Northern Ireland - the backdrop for The Northman. Part of the series takes place in a 10th century Scottish viking village - which the art department built from scratch for the film! This video depicts beautifully how much locations are their own character in the world of cinema.
