In this new CGWorkshop, Hollywood Technical Director & Visual Effects Specialist Allan McKay will take you through visual effects from a production standpoint, and follow the process from the initial pre-production stages through to the integration of your special effect into a scene. You will be mastering all areas of FX and putting them to practice and applying it to a simulated production pipeline. Rather than following the practice of just creating FX examples, we are going to be working on real shots, from pre production to setting the shot up, creating all of the FX, dynamics sims and fluid simulations, and then looking at rendering techniques, after which we go through and actually composite our CGI over live action footage or still image plates. This workshop is designed to take things to the next level and prepare artists for real world pipelines and big studios. You’ll be using FumeFX and Afterburn to create amazing effects and then use Fusion to composite your effects into your chosen scene. Have a look at Allan's Showreel here. Some of Allans more recent effects sequences have been for Superman Returns’, ‘Blade Trinity’, ‘Exorcist: The Beginning’, ‘Paycheck’, ‘Scooby Doo 2’ and ‘Inspector Gadget’ , just to name a few. By workshop end, students should be very comfortable with effects, having developed a very good insight into the creation of some of todays’ bigger budget FX films. “The complete and through introduction to VFX. Was great to have a industry expert sharing both great tutorials with practical industry tips and tricks.".
