Jean-Colas Prunier. How I created 3D animation for Avatar and Lord of the Rings and how will real-time 3D and VR technologies change the film industry

Jean-Colas Prunier, an expert in Visual Effects and entrepreneur will give a talk on February 16th, at Chasopys.

Jean-Colas has worked in the Visual Effects industry for more than 20 years. Inspired by a conference in which John Lasseter the world famous Toy Story director presented his early CG short films from Pixar, Jean-Colas decided to join ExMachina the foremost CG animation studio in Europe in the early 90s. He then moved to the US to work on breakthrough hardware-accelerated 3D rendering technology before joining ILM and shortly afterwards Weta Digital New Zealand where he worked on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong and Avatar among other films.

Jean-Colas is now in the process of creating a startup to develop a new kind of 3D application aimed at changing the way 3D animation for film, TV  and VR  is produced.

Jean-Colas will speak about:

his vision of the future with regard to technologies that are used in the production of animation content for TV, film and VR,
the trends in the film industry in terms of market,
his plans with regards to opening a development center here in Kiev.
