Quotes from previous speakers:
“We are all still infants in the digital world of film. Just think of what we will be able to do twenty years from now as adults.”
Robert Stromberg
Production Designer and Oscar winner
“Choosing how far to push the envelope on any one project is a curious business.”
Mike Fink
VFX supervisor and Oscar winner
“Movies like Avatar are game changers; not only did it change the way we make movies and the visual effects, but also how we view and experience them.”
Theodor Groeneboom, Compositor and 3D-VFX Artist, Framestore
“I love talking about the decision making process – how we go from words to pictures. The choices we make are sometimes quite arbitrary, sometimes dictated by politics, always driven by the requirement that the paths we choose will work.”
Mike Fink
VFX supervisor and Oscar winner
“New stories can be told with new techniques, and kids expect to go traveling in space rather than sit around cutting carrots in the edutainment kitchen!”
Stefan Fjeldmark
Director
“Today, you can design any shot that tells your story best without fear that mechanically you won’t be able to get it.”
Robert Legato
VFX supervisor and Oscar winner
“I find myself increasingly comfortable working live within a 3D space, wherein all the components of a sequence are contained and defined. It is not only the three dimensions, but also the added elements of animation and space meeting time in the fourth dimension that I find liberating as a designer. This is such an appropriate testing ground for the expanding film design language.”
Alex McDowell
Production Designer
“The major film studios are getting really excited by the degree of freedom and flexibility which digital environments offer the film maker and as a result they are often replacingthe use of physical sets. This is good news for the visual effects industry, world wide.”
Dayne Cowan
Co-head of 3d, Double Negative Visual Effects
“The greatest challenge in dealing with digital environments is the need to carefully manage the normous amounts of data involved. It is very easy to become overwhelmed by the complexity.”
Dayne Cowan
Co-head of 3d, Double Negative Visual Effects
“Digital environments extend the filmmaker’s palette into fantastic and unseen realms.
They are a filmmaker’s imagination made tangible. Digital sets have now become an essential part of cinematic storytelling.”
Eric Hanson
VFX designer and CEO, xRez.com
“With the right amount of planning even limited budget features can have stunning visual effects.”
