World leading Visual Effects company Weta Digital present on "King Kong 360-3D"
Sebastian Sylwan will discuss the unique design challenges that this award-winning attraction presented and the creative solutions that were applied to deliver one of the world's largest stereo experiences. Weta Digital built on some of the technical advancements developed for James Cameron's Avatar to overcome some of the most challenging technical requirements; including the stereo rendering and compositing of enormous scenes, projecting roughly 50 Gpixels at 60fps and providing a good stereoscopic experience to all the viewers along opposing 54 meter screens. Creating a memorable and engaging 3D experience required tight collaboration with director Peter Jackson and posed interesting creative challenges that went beyond those of a standard 3D cinema screen.
Harry Potter Tribute
FMX will host a special Harry Potter Tribute in honour of the completion of the series, curated by Barbara Robertson. The series of presentations and panels hosted by Chris deFaria - Executive Vice President, Digital Production, Animation and Visual Effects, for Warner Bros. - will focus on the franchise's impact on global VFX production as well as highlight the evolvement of look, tools and technology over the years. The presentations will include past sequences from the Harry Potter series as well as new sequences from "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" ahead of the release in July 2011.
"Rango" - The down and Dirty on ILM's first animated feature
Visual effects Supervisor Tim Alexander and CG Supervisor Patrick Cohen will have an in depth discussion focusing on the production of Industrial Light & Magic's first animated feature "Rango". ILM's unique approach to the genre brings a new dimension to the animated feature giving Rango the visceral quality that the company is best known for in its visual effects work.
"Rango" centres on a pet chameleon who finds himself appointed sheriff when he stumbles into Dirt, a small town in the Wild Wild West. Tim Alexander and Patrick Cohen will showcase how the ILM crews in San Francisco and Singapore brought these surreal yet photographic Southwestern setting and richly detailed characters to life by applying live-action techniques to the dialogue recording, lighting, costuming and animation pipeline.
Pixomondo will present their latest films, "Sucker Punch" & "Fast Five"
