SUMMARY:Sustainable VFX - An Educational Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Educator's Forum\n\nVolker Helzle, Alexander Kreische, Simon S
 pielmann, and Jonas Trottnow (Filmakademie Baden-Wurttemberg, Animationsin
 stitut)\n\nVFX and animated movie production creation processes are expose
 d to constant innovation, and film schools have to reflect these developme
 nts in their education. At the current point in time, almost any visual de
 mand can be realized given the necessary human, technical and time resourc
 es. Close to real-time rendering technologies can reduce creation times an
 d therefore increase the number of iterations. Both of this can lead to co
 st and energy savings but comes with having to deal with unconventional cr
 eation processes. Raising awareness about potential CO2 emission reduction
 s through innovative technology use is an educational imperative in academ
 ic education.\nThis report compares a typical offline production pipeline 
 for VFX creature shots with a real-time workflow. The goal here is to star
 t a necessary "quality in demand" discussion rather than focusing on brand
  and feature set comparisons. Required optimizations and shortcomings will
  be discussed as well as the increased iteration opportunities. Quality as
 pects of both approaches are compared in a quantitative study evaluating t
 he overall quality and visual difference presented to a diverse audience.\
 nThis work has been created in the context of a film school and the develo
 pment of future skill-sets. Additionally, in the last years, a sustainabil
 ity discussion for all aspects of film productions has started. We experie
 nce a high demand among young filmmakers to understand what it is that the
 y can actively do to lower the carbon-dioxide footprint and produce more s
 ustainably. Therefore, we will also explain how we address these challenge
 s in our curriculum.\n\nRegistration Category: Enhanced Access, Full Acces
