Presenter: Madeleine Scott-Spencer
In this pre-recorded session, Madeleine Spencer presents key elements from the Cinesite pipeline in the realization of two creatures from the Witcher Season 2, The Basilisk and the Chernobog.
Considered design is the cornerstone of every iconic creature. Each aspect of the pipeline, from start to finish, should be guided by a consistent notion of shape language, colour palette, and anatomy, whilst remaining adaptable to the inherent changes between the concept and the final on-screen beast. Focusing on informative case studies from Cinesite’s concept-driven asset pipeline, in this presentation Madeleine will break down how the artists at Cinesite make this happen.
Presenter: Gee Tatchell
Embark on a journey with Cinesite CG supervisor Gee Tatchell as she talks about how her team brought the Arctic to life on the episodic series with the use of drones and on-set photography, integrated with green screen footage captured on location in the Arctic.
