Animation professionals who worked on the smash-hit movie Interstellar and the upcoming Paddington will be among the speakers at the second annual Irish VFX & Animation Summit which takes place from November 28-30 at Dublin’s Science Gallery.
Award-winning international visual effects practitioners from the US, the UK and Ireland will take part in workshops and talks.
The programme includes talks, workshops, master-classes, discussion panels and Question and Answer sessions.
Highlights from the event include two film screenings, Interstellar on Friday November 28 which will be attended by the visual effects crew that worked on the acclaimed film. Paddington will screen on Saturday November 29, with members of its visual effects crew present.
There are still comparatively low numbers of Irish professionals practicing within this industry and the aim of the VFX & Animation Summit is to remedy this situation.
The summit is also teaming with Shotgun for a Showreel Clinic, whereby industry professionals and students are invited to send in their show-reels. There will also be a special panel discussion on Women in Animation. The event takes place with the support of Screen Training Ireland, Animation Skillnet and Enterprise Ireland.
