Singapore based VHQ were the main visual effects vendor for the feature film and created one of the major sequences in the film involving a wolf pack pursuing a herd of horses in a heavy blizzard. This sequence contained extensive computer graphics, all of which had to be as realistic and “invisible” as possible in order for it to be a success. In this talk, Dayne Cowan, who is the Visual Effects Supervisor of the film, will take you through the process of creating this work, from its early conceptual stages right through to final delivery, and explain the many fascinating challenges encountered along the way. The session will be moderated by Michael Lim, founder of the Singapore Visual Effects and Animation FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SGVFXnAnimation/ *Wolf Totem will premiere in Singapore as part of the Singapore Chinese Film Festival during 29Apr – 8 May.
