SUMMARY:WAR IS OVER! Wētā FX Gets Animated
DESCRIPTION:Keith Miller and Aidan Martin (Wētā FX)\n\nWAR IS OVER! brings
  the classic John Lennon and Yoko Ono song to life in this highly stylized
 , Oscar-winning animated short. Entrusted with the director's vision of cr
 eating a “living, breathing concept painting”, the Wētā FX team went to wo
 rk crafting the unique aesthetic, utilising Unreal Engine as the framework
  for the project. In this session, Creative Director and VFX Supervisor Ke
 ith Miller will be joined by Animation Supervisor, Aidan Martin to explore
  the art and technology employed across production.  \n\nBuilding off deep
  experience with Epic Games' Unreal Engine, the team endeavored to push th
 e creative boundaries of the technology to ensure the emotional narrative 
 of the film could be realised visually. From look development and animatio
 n style, to creatively figuring out the story beats, the Wētā FX team were
  highly involved from the onset. Keith and Aidan will talk through their a
 pproach to production - beginning with just a script and storyboard - they
  will provide insight into the artistic choices present throughout the fil
 m. \n\nIn this session, you’ll be taken through their process of blending 
 the painterly visuals of the production design with the gritty realism of 
 war.  You’ll get a look behind the scenes of the motion capture and animat
 ion processes to see their approach to character development, as well as h
 ear about the strengths and efficiencies of real-time filmmaking and how t
 he workflow enabled a new level of responsiveness, allowing for iterative 
 freedom throughout the project.\n\nRegistration Category: Enhanced Access,
