My skills are solving technical problems\, simplifying workflows and mentoring career goals. \nOne of my biggest decisions was to switch my first mayor from law to Media Computer Science. There I found a new appreciation for technology and film. This led me to study Technical Directing at the renowned Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg in Germany. \nOver the years\, I’ve had the opportunity to work on blockbusters such as Avatar: The Way of Water\, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings\, Monsters at Work\, and The Amazing World of Gumball. At big studios like WetaFX\, Framestore\, and Mackevision. \nWe won the Oscar for “Best Visual Effects” (2023) for Avatar: The Way of Water. Before my work on the Open Source Pipeline “Plex” on the short film Breaking Point won the VES Award (2017). \nAfter teaching at ArtFx and CG Master Academy I’m thrilled to share my knowledge and experience with artists and technical professionals worldwide via masterclasses and coaching. To create the same opportunities from intern in small company to a supervisor in the biggest production studio \n  \n  \nSESSION 2: Advanced techniques for Nuke’s 3D space\n  \nAndreas Krein \nAndreas Krein is head of 2D at Automatik VFX\, and graduated at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in 2003. He has since worked at DNEG\, MPC\, Framestore\, Cinesite\, Trixter\, Scanline\, and Mill Film\, and has helped to create visual effects for over 50 motion pictures.. \nAutomatik VFX is a boutique studio creating world class visual effects. They have rapidly grown into one of Europe’s most respected boutique VFX studios\, creating creatures\, environments and seamless FX for a\nbroad range of budgets and production scales. \n  \n  \nSESSION 3: Exploring How Film Effects Can Drive Game Art\n  \n \nJeff A. Johnson\nJeff’s career extends back more than 2 decades\, spanning film visual effects\, feature animation\, and AAA game development\, at many top studios around the globe. such as Tippett Studio\, ILM\, Weta Digital\, DreamWorks\, Method Studios\, and ImageMovers Digital.\nHis film work included a range of disciplines\, many as a Lead – Compositing\, Lighting\, Look Dev\, Crowd simulation\, and FX animation. He transitioned over to games as a Senior Artist on “Call of Duty: Black Ops 3”\, and moved on to become a VFX Lead on “Gears Tactics”\, “LOTR: Return to Moria”\, and “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2”. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
