‘ The Making of V ’ This Thursday @ Gnomon..

Been wondering how the Visual Effects are done on V: The New Series? Well this is your chance.. This Thursday, three Zoic pros will discuss the VFX of ABC‘s V at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood..

Learn about the rigors of how to create feature film effects on a broadcast budget and schedule from the VFX crews of two of the most ambitious visual effects shows on television: Heroes and V.. Supervisors, producers, and artists from these two hit shows will take us step – by – step through planning, shooting, and executing thousands of shots per season, sometimes working on six episodes simultaneously.. Using examples from some of their most complex sequences, you will learn how storyboarding, pre – vis, and the ability to adapt quickly are the keys to success in creating stunning visuals on a shoe – string budget.. You will also see practical examples of realtime on – set composting, which many believe to be the future of our industry..
