This panel of seasoned attendees and program chairs explains how to maximize your conference experience, select the “don’t-miss” sessions, and decipher the convention center’s layout. Moderator Mashhuda Glencross Loughborough University TUESDAY, 26 JULY MOBILE WEDNESDAY, 27 JULY PRODUCTION PRODUCTION A VISION FOR COMPUTER VISION: EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES WHAT MAKES A PRODUCTION RENDERER IN 2016 Tuesday, 26 July, 2-3:30 pm INVITED CONTENT Wednesday, 27 July, 9-10:30 am Computer vision is a rapidly evolving discipline. It includes methods for acquiring, processing, and understanding still images and video to model, replicate, and sometimes, exceed human vision and perform useful tasks. As the technology develops, computer vision will be commonly used for a broad range of services in upcoming devices and implemented in movies, smart phones, cameras, drones, and more. Demand for the technology is driving the evolution of image sensors, mobile processors, operating systems, application software, and device form factors in order to meet the needs of applications and services that will benefit from computer vision. Panelists Jon Peddie Jon Peddie Research Many systems call themselves “production renderers”. Some are relatively unknown. Others are well known, high-quality renderers. And many large studios have invested significant time and money to develop their own proprietary renderers. This panel explores the technical and non-technical issues involved in introducing a renderer into the contemporary production environment, and maintaining it as the technology evolves. Topics include: the capabilities that are absolutely necessary (and those that are not), the importance of technological and creative control, team size and composition, how utilization of open-source components has affected development, and the potential disruption of new research results on the development process. The session includes panelists who are creating the state of the art in advanced renderer development. Panelists Kurt Akeley Lytro, Inc.

Following each presentation, attendees ask questions about the challenges and issues associated with complex productions. SUNDAY, 24 JULY THE MAKING OF “PEARL”, A GOOGLE SPOTLIGHT STORY Sunday, 24 July, 10:45 am-12:15 pm “Pearl” is a Spotlight Story directed by Oscar-winning animator Patrick Osborne. Conceived from the beginning as a 360º experience, “Pearl” takes place entirely in a car and explores the gifts we inherit from our parents, both tangible and intangible. The challenge: create a 360º interactive animated film with a strongly art-directed, highly stylized non-photorealistic look, with naturalistic character animation tightly synchronized with an original song, and a story that collapses decades into minutes through montage, and make it run on a wide range of devices, from mobile phones to VR headgear, in real time. Panelists Patrick Osborne, Director Rachid El Guerrab, Spotlight Stories Project Lead MONDAY, 25 JULY TUESDAY, 26 JULY “KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS”: ONE GIANT SKELETON, ONE COLOSSAL UNDERTAKING THE MAKING OF MARVEL’S “CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR” Monday, 25 July, 2-3:30 pm In “Captain America: Civil War”, Steve Rogers leads the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps, one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability. Marvel Studios, ILM, Rise FX, and Method Studios show attendees how they created some of the movie’s most heart-stopping moments. For “Kubo and the Two Strings”, (in theaters 19 August), LAIKA launched an immensely powerful puppet – to scale. The result: a giant (18-foot) skeleton with a 24-foot wingspan from finger to finger. With realworld materials including dense CNC foam, paper, paint, and a steel armature, the Giant Skeleton was a massive undertaking, involving LAIKA's notoriously interdependent and collaborative crew. And when the puppet was finished, the challenges began.

A team of over 800 CG artists led by Production VFX Supervisor Rob Legato, MPC VFX Supervisor Adam Valdez, Animation Supervisor Andy Jones, and Weta Digital VFX Supervisor Keith Miller, worked for two years to animate over 60 species of animal; craft the mountain temple, trees, rocks, and vines; and simulate earth, fire, and water. Panelists Andy Jones, Animation Supervisor Walt Disney Animation Adam Valdez, VFX Supervisor Moving Picture Company Keith Miller, Digital VFX Supervisor Weta Digital 28 (continued) “DEADPOOL” + COLOSSUS OUR FAVORITE (ANTI) SUPERHEROES WEDNESDAY, 27 JULY UNDER THE SEA – THE MAKING OF “FINDING DORY” Wednesday, 27 July, 10:45 am-12:15 pm Find the answers to how Pixar artists created the studio’s latest feature film, “Finding Dory”. Top animators and technical artists deliver a deep dive into the process of creating the summer hit, which required adoption of an entirely new back-end pipeline and cutting-edge technology. From character design and animation to lighting, CG water like you’ve never seen before and, perhaps most crucially, RenderMan REYES, and RIS, come find out how “Finding Dory” revolutionized Pixar Animation Studios from sea-level up. Panelists Steve Pilcher Jeremie Talbot Jim Brown Masha Ellsworth Chris Burrows Chris Chapman Ian Megibben John Halstead Pixar Animation Studios “STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT” – GAME DEVELOPMENT IN THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE! Wednesday, 27 July, 2-3:30 pm The DICE team reveals some of the work that went into “Star Wars: Battlefront,” their award-winning, visually stunning game. They share challenges they faced, discuss their approach to overcoming those challenges, and offer a candid, open conversation about their process. Specific topics include PBR, photogrammetry, vertex shading, fragment shading, Enlighten, tessellation, and optimizations. Attendees learn how DICE works; explore the challenges developers face when dealing with high-profile assets such as iconic characters, planets and weapons; understand the solutions to those challenges, and engage the creators in a panel discussion. Wednesday, 27 July, 3:45-5:15 pm Digital Domain worked on the three main aspects of “Deadpool”: Colossus, Deadpool interacting with Colossus, and the Helicarrier. Creation of Colossus required five different actors: a motion-capture actor, a taller actor on the principle shoot, a voice-over actor, face model, and a Mova/ facial-capture actor. The team used a proprietary real-time system to capture the facial movement of one actor and redirect to the Colossus character with perfect 1:1 geometry of usable data. They created the digi-double of Deadpool that was usable by all vendors on the project. And they created the Helicarrier; which is similar to Marvel’s X-Men carrier, but a bit more rustic looking in this anti-hero film. Blur Studio created the film’s opening title sequence, provided previsualization for several action sequences, delivered an additional 37 VFX shots for two key scenes, and made the low-fi animated end titles. Blur also provided previsualization for the main car chase, the subsequent bullet-counting sequence, and the final fight scene. Previsualization was critical for staging the flow of each scene and determining which shots would work best in advance. One of the main tasks in Blur’s 37 VFX shots was integrating a fully CG version of a damaged Colossus, building on Digital Domain’s “clean” Colossus model. Blur developed an identical clean Colossus, which required extensive full-body and facial motion capture, and incorporated heat damage, scrapes, and other flaws.

It is also a place where humans never existed and animals have evolved to be anthropomorphic, clothed, city-dwellers. Walt Disney Animation Studios pushed the artistic boundaries of all aspects of the production process to create vastly different environments filled with hundreds of unique and detailed characters. The scale difference of the animals, from a mouse to giraffe (95:1), required creation of a world that could be inhabited by characters of all shapes and sizes while depicting thousands of furred and clothed animals.
