Q&A with Simon Holmedal

I had the honor and privilege of interviewing Simon Holmedal of Man vs. Machine based in London.

I’ve followed Simon since I was in school when he used to post tutorial-esque videos explaining the intricacies of Xpresso and Thinking Particles. I had the opportunity to meet Simon in the winter of Berin in 2014.

Simon is an inspiration and most importantly, he is a good guy- I haven’t detected a trace of arrogance or superiority from him. Sometimes design and the creative industry can be a tough business and it can slowly change people. I’m going to take the example from Simon: you can be one of the greats and still be humble.

Anyway, you can read the interview on Motionographer here.

And just so ya’ll know the image used in the blog header above is from Simon Holmedal’s Mercurial, a piece he worked on at Man vs Machine and one of my select favorites.
