The panel discussion Talking CGI was organized by Paul Wells as part of The Art of British CGI: Contemporary, Independent and Television Animation conference, Animation Academy, Loughborough University (15 February 2007) and supported by the AHRC ICT Methods Network.
Participants were Marc Craste (Studio AKA), Johnny Hardstaff (onedotzero), Dave Mousley (Red Vision) and Andy McNamara (Condor Studios).
This panel was designed to address core research questions about computer generated animation applications in regard to technology, technique, aesthetics and cultural impact with contributions from leading contemporary practioners. The seminar engaged directly with the new technologies and software applications of cutting edge animation in a variety of contexts including commercials, idents, photorealistic documentary, works allied to graphic design, illustration and fine art, and personal 'auteurist' films grounded in a range of visual sources.
Paul Well's detailed report is available from the Methods Network website.
