ICG AND ADG (IA Locals 600, 800) Collaborate With HPA Tech Retreat Panel In Rancho Mirage
Collaboration at Any Resolution to Explore Impact of Game Engine Technology on Production
LOS ANGELES --(SPW)--
For the third straight year panelists from the International Cinematographers Guild (IATSE Local 600) have been invited to the prestigious Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) Tech Retreat ®. It will be held at the Westin Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage on Wednesday, February 19 from 2:00 pm to 2:45 pm. They will be joined by the Art Directors Guild (IATSE LOCAL 800).
Under the heading Collaboration at Any Resolution: Virtual Production for the Rest of Us, the panelists will discuss the capacity of game engine technology to upend the traditional creative discovery process in pre-production and merge VFX and live production into simultaneous processes on-set.
Panelists are cinematographer David Stump, ASC, art director Benjamin Nowicki, Eliot Mack, CEO, Lightcraft Technology, and Remy Katrib, CEO, DigitalFilm Tree, with Michael Chambliss, Production Technology Specialist at the International Cinematographers Guild serving as moderator. The panel will run from 2 pm to 2:45 pm.
Game engines are the key unblocking new forms of collaboration with lightweight systems that enable the director, cinematographer, art director and department heads to agree upon creative choices before anything is built. When moved on-set, game engine technology can reduce the uncertainty inherent in compositing images and enable mixed reality scenes to move straight from set to editorial on almost any production.
