Date and Time: 4.9.2021 (Sat) 11:00am - 12:00nn Speaker: Mr. Patrick Lin (Director of Photography, Pixar Animation Studios) Theme: How Camera and Staging Tell Toy Story 4 In the virtual sets of animation, “camera” is unbound by physical limitations, allowing you to shoot from any angle or distance that create scenes out of our imagination. In this talk, the speaker will take an in-depth look into the camera and staging of Toy Story 4. Besides walking the audience through the production process of “filming” a digital animated feature, the aesthetic thought process of the film’s camera language and structure will also be detailed, showing how cinematography is used in support of story and to strengthen characters’ emotions.
Date and Time: 25.9.2021 (Sat) 11:00am - 12:00nn Speaker: Mr. Anthony Wong (Animator and Story Artist, Pixar Animation Studios) Theme: Physics and Maths in Animation Creation When appreciating the lifelike characters in animation, have you ever thought that the smooth movements of the characters, even the bouncing of their hair, are all produced by sophisticated mathematical and physical calculations? The speaker will explain how mathematics and physics govern the movements and speed of objects in animation creation, in order to produce animation with realistic details and perfect scenes.
Date and Time: 16.10.2021 (Sat) 11:00am - 12:00nn Speaker: Ms. Maria Lee (Character Shading Artist, Pixar Animation Studios) Theme: The Aesthetics of Yin and Yang Play in Shading the Character Luca Colour selection and use is an important part of aesthetics.
