Creating
Fantasy Worlds, from Digital to Analogue. Perth-based 3D graphics
studio Last Pixel will take you behind
the scenes on some recent international projects, then Paul van
Ommen will discuss his role with Weta Workshop, and with The Miniatures
Unit, that have filmed the models for King Kong and other projects
you may have heard of such as The Lord Of The Rings.
WARNING:
Due to us being advised of the wrong date for the
Christmas
Pageant, this
is the same night! So
parking will be terrible unless you come very early. Many city
streets will be closed etc. But too
late to change this talk - so perhaps you can catch public transport,
or park in Northbridge early and walk over before the families
with their folding chairs.... And
hey, maybe you will see Santa :)
