The Making of: Heroes and V | February 10th, 2010
Thursday, February 25th, 2010
6:00 p.m. — 9:00 p.m.
Alien Invasions. Cities ripped apart by catastrophic disasters. Super heroes locked in mortal combat with super powered villains. Does this sound like another summer blockbuster? No, it’s just a typical night on television.
Learn about the rigors of how to create feature film effects on a broadcast budget and schedule from the VFX crews of two of the most ambitious visual effects shows on television:’Heroes’ and ‘V’. Supervisors, producers, and artists from these two hit shows will take us step-by-step through planning, shooting, and executing thousands of shots per season, sometimes working on six episodes simultaneously. Using examples from some of their most complex sequences, you will learn how storyboarding, pre-vis, and the ability to adapt quickly are the keys to success in creating stunning visuals on a shoe-string budget. You will also see practical examples of realtime on-set compositing, which many believe to be the future of our industry.
The program will be followed up by group Q&A session.
