The creative process of visualising and digitally rendering an imaginary world involves not only technical design skills but a great deal of collaboration between the director and the production designer to develop these worlds together. Intended for a select group of Talent production designers, directors and screenwriters, this workshop will be led by visual effects expert Habib Zargarpour (THE BOURNE IDENTITY, THE PERFECT STORM) and production designer and producer Alex McDowell (MINORITY REPORT, FIGHT CLUB). The experts will focus on a couple of films each, show excerpts, and examine them in-depth. Participating Talents will have the opportunity to discuss their own projects and receive input.
A video of the full event is available on the Berlinale Talent Campus website:
