Torbjörn Olsson, Production VFX supervisor, and Martin Hernblad, VFX supervisor, who represents Important Looking Pirates (ILP), share the experience of bringing "Ronja, the Robber's Daughter" to the 12 episode spectacular on Netflix.

From strapping an iPhone on to a face, short actors in rubber suits, to high end, world class, feathered, talking CG creatures in the snow.  Over the course of 2.5 years the VFX challenges came in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

This presentation will give the audience a unique perspective on how the visual effects came to be developed and designed - and most importantly how they were taken from words on a page to a dazzling streaming adventure.

Creativity in an age of Generative AI

In his presentation, Martin Nebelong will take us on a tour of his creative journey as an artist, and his explorations of the best ways to combine human creativity and generative AI. Over the last few years he has made a name for himself as someone who explores the cutting edge of art and technology. Always with an open mind, and with a knack for finding new and interesting ways to tell stories through images.

With the idea that brushstrokes, 3D sculpting, video and animation should be used as a basis for AI assisted workflows, Martin has managed to reclaim some of the creative control that we lost with the idea of text prompts as a means to an end with Gen AI.

'Tis the season again where we invite companies and film schools to be part of the next edition of the Film & Media Exchange. 🔥
