C G I S T U D I O : T H I RT Y YEARS, ONE RENDERER 3:45-5:15 pm
In February 2017, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored Carl Ludwig, Eugene Troubetzkoy, and Maurice van Swaaij with a SciTech Award “for the pioneering development of the CGIStudio renderer at Blue Sky Studios”. This year is also the 30th anniversary of CGIStudio, which demonstrated the feasibility of ray tracing and global illumination in visual effects and animation. The first ray-traced animated feature film was Blue Sky’s “Ice Age” (2002). This panel presents a few of the CGIStudio pioneers for a moderated discussion of how Blue Sky managed to challenge the industry’s conventional approach to CG production, including Carl Ludwig, (Blue Sky’s CTO and the visionary behind CGIStudio), Academy Award®-winning directors Chris Wedge and John Kahrs, and Academy Sci-Tech Award recipient Hilmar Koch. PANELISTS Maurice van Swaaij, Carl Ludwig, & Chris Wedge - Blue Sky Studios John Kahrs - Broad Reach Pictures Hilmar Kich - Autodesk
CONFERENCE THE MAKING OF D I S N E Y ’S B E A U T Y A N D T H E B E AS T 2-3:30 pm
Join the visual-effects team behind Disney’s liveaction remake of the 1991 animated classic as we discuss the creative and technical challenges behind bringing this wonderful and exciting film to life. As we take you on a highlight tour of our two-year journey, you will get a chance to see how the film’s many characters and environments evolved from initial concepts and studies to finished designs. We explore the technology behind achieving Dan Steven’s remarkable Beast performance, the process of building complex scenes such as “Be Our Guest” and throughout all this, will catch an inside glimpse of how unique and continued collaboration with key production departments (art, costume, music, choreography) was critical to the overall success of the project.
