Sean Kennedy is a VFX veteran with an impressively long IMDB page and is a longtime friend of CG Cookie. He's probably worked on your favorite TV show! Sean also runs the OpenVisualFX blog, which has a lot of helpful tutorials that cover how to create special effects with open source software like Blender and Natron. 

If you have any questions for Sean, drop them below before the interview! I'd recommend watching his Blender Conference talks if you're interested in what it's like to work in Hollywood. 

Also be sure to check out his series on creating a Matte Painted VFX shot, which covers a really wide range of compositing topics:
