Recent confirmations for FMX 2024

VFX FOR EPISODIC: Yu Yu Hakusho: A Japanese local production and its global VFX

Yu Yu Hakusho is a Netflix live action series based on the popular Japanese manga. It was one of the first Japanese productions to attempt a true global VFX production, working with four previs vendors, nine VFX vendors, and an in-house VFX team spreading across six different countries (Japan, Korea, India, Canada, U.S., Australia).

Every step of the way, “the usual way” was never the answer, considering both the Japanese and the Hollywood methods. In their session, Overall VFX Supervisor Ryo Sakaguchi, and Christophe Rodo, VFX Supervisor, Megalis VFX, will cover the VFX challenges encountered through all stages of production with the aim to achieve a world class VFX for a Japanese production.

LOCATION BASED ENTERTAINMENT: Immersive visual splendor in Paris

Join Jean-Baptiste Hardoin, creative director from Moment Factory, as he will dive into the creative and technical challenges faced in the studio’s most recent projects, such as AURA Invalides, the monumental experience beneath the dome at Les Invalides in Paris. Get a behind-the-scenes look at their work and learn about the solutions that brought these iconic experiences to life.

This session will be part of the FMX track LOCATION BASED ENTERTAINMENT curated by Brent Strong, Executive Creative Director at Walt Disney Imagineering.

FMX certified as a climate friendly event– again!

The conference has taken active steps to become more sustainable. FMX has continually been reducing its carbon footprint, avoiding traffic, saving water, producing less waste. As a result, FMX was certified as a climate-friendly event by the KSS Klimaschutzstiftung Baden-Wuerttemberg (Climate Protection Foundation) in 2023, which is supporting the state on its path to climate neutrality. And we can proudly announce: the KSS has reconfirmed the certificate for 2024!

 
This comes with benefits for FMX ticket holders: they are eligible for discounted tickets with Deutsche Bahn (German Rail) and they can use public transport in Stuttgart free of charge.
