Unveil the Green: VFX and Modern Filmmaking

In Sino Screen’s Speaker Series on November 17, we invited the visual effects director who was appointed by Oscar. Starting from the macro concept, the lecture is full of rich content, and at the same time witty and interesting.

All guests shared their experiences on how to enter the field of visual effects and also brought video clips of previous works to share their stories with the audience in a more concrete image. Starting from the interpretation of visual effects, Jacques and Cao Han also admit that the production of special effects is a tedious process, and they often encounter situations where the production effect is not as expected. Hongchun Zhu also introduced the difference between visual effects and animate effects. The visual effects director Jacques introduced the "one-stop" process of visual effects from pre-planning to subsequent production, to help audiences more effectively understand its operation in the industry. The four guests also shared their thoughts on the future development of visual effects. They all thought that technology would be the key factor to change their future.

The dispute is the active interaction between the audience and guests. As a special effects artist, Cao Han suggested that for projects that require visual effects, the communication with the special effects artist should be as early as possible, and make sure to prepare as soon as possible. The host, Chuyan Fang, also started from his own work experience and briefly analyzed the front and backstage of the visual effects coordination planning.
