What can visual effects and computer-generated imagery do to engage your audiences or win over your clients?

How do agencies, production companies and directors work with VFX to visualise the invisible, and create the impossible?

VFX allow us to see worlds that ordinary cameras can never show us. Sunken ships, exploding planets, vast armies, extinct species and atomic particles. But how do you make it work for you?

Creative Directors from award-winning Moonraker VFX and 422 South, both based in Bristol, share their secrets and explain how they create the stunning visual magic that wows audiences across TV, cinema and the digital world.

During this event, we’ll examine:

• What are the realities of working with VFX companies?
• How do producers and directors preserve their directorial vision in the face of endless possibilities?
• How is new software changing what we can do and see?
• And how much does it cost?

The event will take place on Wednesday 27th November at Watershed Cinema 2, from 12.30pm - 2.00pm.

Tickets are £15+VAT for Bristol Media members, £20+VAT for non-members.
