??? CONFERENCES:

When Motion Design Challenges the Limits of Animation

WEDNESDAY JUNE 12 AT 10:45AM – IMPéRIAL PALACE – SALLE DE L’EUROPE

At this conference, meet some motion design artists and discover how they use their art form in animation. Motion design is a technique that is increasingly used in advertising, communication, and contemporary art, but also in live-action film credits. It has its own distinctive aesthetics and graphic codes. But can we consider motion design as animation? What are its creative potential and limitations?

With: Paul-Etienne Bourde (2D Supervisor, Mikros Animation) Ma?l Gourdenne (Motion Designer) Christian Mills (Creative Director, Passion Pictures) Alexandre Osmoze Brakha (Director & Art director) Hans-Christoph Schultheiss (Director & creative director, Psyop)

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12 AT 3:15PM – IMPéRIAL PALACE – ROTONDE DE L’EUROPE

Join Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles VFX Supervisor Matthieu Rouxel from Mikros Animation for a discussion about the stylized animated feature’s lighting and look development process.
