SUMMARY:HDRI Lighting Technique Made Simple for Visual Effects
DESCRIPTION:Gathering light data on set and location garners mixed results depending on your knowledge of what is possible and what is needed. 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. Joe – The Rise of Cobra (Paramount + Spyglass)\n\n		Jonathan Litt\, CG Supervisor – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – (Digital Domain)\n\n		Stefan Sonnenfeld\, President/Managing Director – Company 3\n\nPLACE: Clarity Theater\n	100 N. Crescent Drive (just north of Wilshire Blvd)\n	Beverly Hills\, CA 90210 \nFEES: Free for VES Members\, all Academy\, ASC\, PGA + DGA Members (discount fee $10)\n	All non-members ($20.00 fee)
