Event highlights include hearing from international VFX professionals and the 33 animago-AWARDS nominated projects from all over the world.
MUNICH, GERMANY -- As digital production continues to play an increasingly key role in a wide range of industries, ranging from architecture and automobile manufacturing to medicine, the animago AWARD & CONFERENCE (September 7–8) event will bring VFX experts from all over the world to Munich for two full days focusing on 3D animation, stills, visual effects (VFX), visualizations and design. More than 1,000 participants are expected to attend the events in the Gasteig Cultural Center in Munich, including VFX professionals who worked on Pixar’s film Piper.
One highlight of the two days will be the presentation of the animago AWARDS on Thursday evening (7 September). Chosen in a total of eleven categories from out of almost 1,000 submissions received from 58 countries, the 33 final nominees represent projects created in Canada, USA, China, Taiwan, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Spain, France and Germany. Since the animago competition launched over 20 years ago, our independent jury of experts drawn from the fields of film, development and post-production has viewed and judged over 22,000 works sent in by digital artists from over 80 different nations.
Among the renowned VFX professionals who will speak at this year’s animago CONFERENCE are those artists responsible for the post-production and visual effects for films such as Piper, Cloud Atlas, Independence Day: Resurgence, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Pinocchio, Anne Frank as well as advertising productions by Adidas, Volkswagen and RedBull. The animago is considered one of the industry’s most important international networking platforms.
In addition to that, the Gasteig will also host the animago EXHIBITION, an event open to the public where companies active in the industry will present their products, technologies and services.
