Full transcript and show notes at <a href='https://theomnishow.omnigroup.com/episode/mark-boszko-video-producer/'>theomnishow.omnigroup.com</a> <p>Mark got hooked on video and special effects at the age of five when he saw a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvnSlMaF-G4">TV show about the effects behind The Empire Strikes Back</a>.</p> <p>After creating videos for vast government bureaucracies and The History Channel, Mark moved to Seattle to come work at Omni — which, from his point of view, is a video production company that happens to create some companion software to go along with the movies.</p> <p>Mark also hosts <a href="http://opticalpodcast.com/">The Optical podcast</a>, which you should listen to. And — <em>most</em> critically — Mark is this show’s intrepid producer.</p> <p>You can find Mark <a href="https://twitter.com/bobtiki">@bobtiki</a> on Twitter. You may, if you meet him in person, call him Bob. It’s fine.</p> <p>Some other people, places, and things mentioned:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.pbs.org/food/shows/great-british-baking-show/">The Great British Baking Show</a></li> <li><a
