Workshops devoted to the role of the VFX Supervisor, supplemented by the perspective of the VFX producer, will allow participants to better understand how to effectively plan, supervise and implement visual effects in film and television productions.

During the classes, participants will learn about the theoretical aspects of the Supervisor’s work and analyse specific case studies, following the process of creating a selected sequence of VFX effects. The workshop programme also includes team exercises, a lecture by a VFX producer and a question and answer (Q&A) session.

Workshop programme:

Introduction: The role of the VFX Supervisor in the project lifecycle: discussion of the Supervisor’s tasks and responsibilities at each stage of production – from pre-production to post-production.
