The quality of your HDRI data is dependent on the quality and accuracy of the gathering techniques you employ. \nThis presentation will cover various options for data collection and discuss processing and evaluation of the HDRI data collected to produce photo-real renders. We will also discuss the technical and financial benefits of rendering with HDRI data and show how capturing accurate HDRI’s will retain the Director of Photography’s vision of on set lighting choices in the CG world; thereby not only helping to improve the quality of the images\, but also reducing costs for both vendor and producer alike. \nVFX clips from G-FORCE\, G.I. JOE and THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON will be screened and the in depth use of HDRI lighting technology will be discussed. MODERATOR: Hoyt Yeatman – Director \nPANELISTS: \n\n\n Scott Stokdyk\, VFX Supervisor – G-Force (Disney Pictures)\n\n Boyd Shermis\, VFX Supervisor – G.I.

Dr. Catmull developed and single-handedly pursued the computer animated movie – beginning before there were computers!  Tracing his career path you can see his single-mindedness and inventiveness at work – and like Cameron\, he changed our world.  The list of his pioneering accomplishments and inventions that have become the very tools of all visual effects artists used today and prove his worthiness of the Georges Melies Award for Pioneering.  We are very honored to be able to shine the light on this man’s pioneering invention and contribution to our world. \nSo\, without further ado\, enjoy the friends and artists sitting all around you\, take in the amazing works of art about to be shown on stage and remember that whatever it is that “can’t be done”… well\, we do it – time and again. \nLocation: Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel.
