Find out who is going to FMX this year and browse different presentations, workshops and screenings
FMX, which is run by the Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg and organised by the Institute of Animation, Visual Effects and Digital Postproduction, was initiated as an event for students labelled ‘Film and Media Exchange’ (FMX) in 1994.
Since it’s inception, FMX has kept up with the developments and trends of the CG industry and has grown to become one of the stand-out conferences for those working with digital imagery.
Even if you just glance at the FMX programme, you’ll see the scope of the conference is absolutely massive.
This year you’ll enjoy talks on VFX extravaganzas such as John Carter and presentations on blockbusters like the upcoming Men in Black sequel, MIB III, plus animation highlights like Ice Age 4, Madagascar 3 and Arthur Christmas, as well as presentations on the popular games series SSX and Mortal Kombat.
Among the many world-renowned VFX visionaries at FMX this year are Doug Trumbull - who just received an Honorary Oscar for his lifetime achievement and worked as Effects Supervisor on 2001: Space Odyssey, Blade Runner and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the four-time Academy-Award winner Ray Feeney. Also present will be recent VFX Oscar winner Rob Legato, Hugo’s leading Visual Effects Supervisor.
The VFX talks will focus on films like John Carter, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Red Tails, Hugo, Ice Age 4, La Luna and Arthur Christmas by the top FX and animation houses, such as ILM, Digital Domain, MPC, Cinesite, Double Negative, Prime Focus, Weta Digital, Pixar, Aardman, Blue Sky Studios, New Deal Studios, Framestore, Pixomondo and Sony Pictures Imageworks.
The Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film (ITFS) is one of the world’s largest and most important festivals for animated film, showcasing about 1,000 international animations. This parallel event takes place from May 8 to 13.
As well as this, FMX 2012 and ITFS will jointly host the Animation Production Day (APD) on 8 May 2012, a business platform for the international animation industry.
