The keynote will present the complete process of creating visual effects that include animated CG elements, from pre-production to finalizing the shot, with a focus on practical workflows and collaboration between different departments. We will go through the roles of the VFX supervisor and producer, working on the breakdown, storyboard, and previs, and how to make the right decisions between physical and digital elements already in the pre-production stage. In post-production, we will examine postvis, the key role of the VFX editor, and especially the integration of animation into visual effects: the workflow connection to layout, assets, rigging, animation, FX, lighting, and final compositing. The lecture will conclude with an overview of project management, approval processes, and finally the current possibilities and limitations of using AI in VFX.
