Imagina, a longstanding computer graphics conference in Europe, has transformed itself in 2009 to cater more toward the industrial and building industries, with the prior media and entertainment scope being served by one of several sub-conference tracks. The tracks in 2009 include Architecture & Urbanism, Driving Simulation, Landscape and Territory, and Media and Entertainment. Addressing this shift, the Media and Entertainment track included speakers and panels intended to address commonalities and differences between architectural visualization and feature film visual effects work.
Held in idyllic Monaco, the one-day Media and Entertainment event consisted of two sessions, the first entitled “What Lessons can be Learned from the Technical Know-How of VFX-Heavy Blockbusters?”. Moderators included Mireille Frenette and Benoit Guerville of Wide Cinema, who also skillfully organized the event. Speakers included myself, and Christophe Courgeau, Hughes Namur, and Jean Rabasse of Mikros Image in Paris.
