Click further: We last reported on the FMX on 17 December 2021 . At that time, Haz Dulull (the director of such genre gems as “The Beyond” or “Origin Unknown”) was announced as Programme Chair, and the productions “Foundation”, “The Tragedy of Macbeth”, “Igraine Ohnefurcht” and “Dragman” were also revealed.
FMX is now presenting further programme items that you can look forward to in May:
The Witcher: Innovative Virtual Production On Netflix’s Hit Series: Virtual Production Manager Brad Blackbourn (The Third Floor) will talk about how virtual production was used in the 2nd season of the Netflix series. Blackbourn’s presentation will be a real deep dive into how real-time visualisation tools helped bring the ambitious second season to life.
DP 03 : 2020: In DP 03 : 2020 we sat down with Visual Effects Supervisor Mateusz Tokarz, Comp Artist and Art Director Rafal Sadowy and VFX Producer Krzysztof Krok to discuss the visuals of the first Witcher season. Read the full article for free in our retro article from 29.09.2021 .
“Reminiscence” – what was “Rise” sinking? Florian Gellinger, co-founder and executive VFX producer at RISE (and VFX supervisor of “Reminiscence”), will show the extensive CG environments and spectacular water simulations of this sci-fi gem. Reminiscence” was not a forest-and-meadows production from the sci-fi genre. What started out as a relatively easy job for the VFX artists proved to be more difficult from day to day. The reasons for this are not just to do with Covid and working remotely.
DP 06 : 2021: Back in DP 06 : 2021 , we sat down with Florian Gellinger to discuss the film’s eye-catching opening sequence in the article “Going for a swim with Rise FX”. “Reminiscence” begins with a low-level flight over the sunken Miami, which was created entirely on the computer by Rise in Stuttgart and Berlin. If you want to see the first ten minutes of the film, click back to 22 October 2021 , when we showed you what Miami could look like after a global climate crisis.
The VFX of “Lost in Space”: Prof. Juri Stanossek from Mackevision will take on the 3rd season of “Lost in Space”. Mackevision was one of the main suppliers, led by Overall VFX Supervisor Jabbar Raisani and VFX Producer Terron Pratt. The Mackevision team was responsible for full CG procedural environments in the first episode of the third season, among other things, but was also responsible for many robot sequences from the eighth episode. Virtual production was used as a central element in this.
“Stowaway”: A Cinematic Spacewalk: The sci-fi thriller “Stowaway” takes you on a mission to Mars, accompanying the space crew as they fight for survival in space. Virtual cinematographer Jannicke Mikkelsen will explain how virtual cinematography fits into real cinematography. In other words, real camera work combined with virtual camera work.
