| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Sky Talkers. Here are your hosts, Charlotte and Caitlin. |
| 0:15.7 | Hello and welcome to Sky Talkers. I'm your host, Charlotte. |
| 0:18.6 | Hey, everyone. I'm your other host, Caitlin, and we have a super special interview for you guys today. I'm your host Charlotte. Hey everyone. I'm your other host, Keatlin, and we have a super |
| 0:21.7 | special interview for you guys today. I'm really, really excited about this one. We have been in |
| 0:27.1 | contact with Charmaine Chan for a long time, and we are so excited to have her on Sky Talkers, |
| 0:33.0 | because number one, she's so cool. Number two, she's the lead compositor at Industrial Light and Magic, |
| 0:39.2 | ILM, and she's worked on the Mandalorian. She's working on a secret project right now. |
| 0:44.1 | She's worked on Jurassic World. She's worked on Star Tours. She's done so much. And she's worked |
| 0:50.5 | on The Lost Jedi. I can't believe I forgot that. Hello.

| 1:39.0 | tremendous respect for Charmaine. And I hope that you all enjoy this interview because I think |
| 1:43.0 | Caitlin and I certainly did. |
| 1:51.3 | Yeah, I couldn't have said it better. It was a fantastic interview and Charmaine was so lovely too. I mean, she was all the way in London at the time. And so working with the time change and everything, |
| 1:57.5 | she was just so lovely throughout all of it and such a pleasure to talk to. |
| 2:02.2 | And yeah, like Charlotte said, I think just coming away with a better understanding of just how |
