CVPA: How'd They Do That?! Visual FX! (6:30 am - 9:00 am)
Visual FX and motion graphics can help communicate ideas and concepts elegantly and simply. They enhance the entire aesthetic of a project, be it film, television, or web-based media. And the rapid advance of technology keeps increasing the possibilities for a filmmaker to combine live-action footage and digital techniques.
But how does all that magic happen? What goes into the process of conceptualizing and designing effects? How can a filmmaker best utilize motion graphics? When and how should you solicit the work of a Visual FX artist?
Come find out as we talk to a VFX master, Jonah Tobias, our guest speaker for this month’s ME: How'd They Do That?! Visual FX!
