Storytelling in Unreal with Aaron Sims

Storytelling in Unreal with Aaron Sims

Calling all young enthusiastic animators and budding visual effects artists to a fantastic workshop on Storytelling in Unreal by the legendary special effects artist Aaron Sims. The workshop will be presented by Emmy Award-winning Special Effects supervisor Allan McKay.

 

Aaron Sims, began his career in special effects over three decades ago under the stewardship of industry stalwarts like Rick Baker and Stan Winston. In 2005, the Aaron Sims Creative (ASC) was set up with the sole purpose of bringing together exceptionally talented concept and visual effects artists from across the globe under one roof in order to create characters and environments that would be unmatchable and unforgettable. Some of the movies that the ASC team worked on include Stranger Things, The Planet of the Apes Trilogy, and Wonder Woman.

 

The workshop by Sims will focus on ASC’s most ambitious project to date – Creating ‘The Eye Calanthek’, which was produced in a matter of six weeks. This session will give you an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look into the world of filmmaking using UE5 and illustrate the power of this 3D tool in its production processes, and explore Writing, Design & World Building, Mocap & Animation, and Camera & Lighting in engine!
