The hour-long conversation was recorded in audio form, but in the text, Resource Magazine summarized a few of the most interesting components of Hurt’s job and the overall process of turning the final frontier into imagery for the world to gaze upon. Below are just a few images Hurt has worked on creating using his complicated post-production setup.
