SUMMARY:Sustainable VFX - An Educational Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Volker Helzle, Alexander Kreische, Simon Spielmann, and Jonas 
 Trottnow (Filmakademie Baden-Wurttemberg, Animationsinstitut)\n\nVFX and a
 nimated movie production creation processes are exposed to constant innova
 tion, and film schools have to reflect these developments in their educati
 on. At the current point in time, almost any visual demand can be realized
  given the necessary human, technical and time resources. Close to real-ti
 me rendering technologies can reduce creation times and therefore increase
  the number of iterations. Both of this can lead to cost and energy saving
 s but comes with having to deal with unconventional creation processes. Ra
 ising awareness about potential CO2 emission reductions through innovative
  technology use is an educational imperative in academic education.\nThis 
 report compares a typical offline production pipeline for VFX creature sho
 ts with a real-time workflow. The goal here is to start a necessary "quali
 ty in demand" discussion rather than focusing on brand and feature set com
 parisons. Required optimizations and shortcomings will be discussed as wel
 l as the increased iteration opportunities. Quality aspects of both approa
 ches are compared in a quantitative study evaluating the overall quality a
 nd visual difference presented to a diverse audience.\nThis work has been 
 created in the context of a film school and the development of future skil
 l-sets. Additionally, in the last years, a sustainability discussion for a
 ll aspects of film productions has started. We experience a high demand am
 ong young filmmakers to understand what it is that they can actively do to
  lower the carbon-dioxide footprint and produce more sustainably. Therefor
 e, we will also explain how we address these challenges in our curriculum.
