HIS DARK MATERIALS: INNOVATIVE APPROACHES IN VFX

In this session created specifically for the APA, Framestore’s creative director for television will present the painstaking work that went into delivering 1500 shots of the highest-quality VFX for the hit HBO / BBC series His Dark Materials.

From working closely with the show’s creator, writer, directors and producers in order to define the best use of VFX for the series, to the on-set collaboration with puppeteers and performers, Russ will discuss some of the creative techniques that can be used anywhere in the media production landscape to produce the most engaging visuals.
