SXSW may be seven months away, but the PanelPicker is already in full swing. This year, ClickFire Media has submitted two panels for the 2012 SXSW Interactive conference. We are asking for your help. If you want to hear us speak, please vote for either of our panels (and/or leave a comment) from now until Friday, September 2nd.
Panel 1: Demystifying VFX Techniques for Interactive Experiences
The technology and thinking behind filmmaking has been evolving since the art form has existed. The techniques taught for filmmaking have traditionally been done with only the film media in mind. More recently, interactive applications like video games, apps, and websites have risen in prominence as a visual storytelling medium, but while influenced by film, the techniques for their creation have evolved independently. Instead, it should be about merging the two worlds to create cinematic interactive experiences. Instead of just talking about these VFX techniques, we will demonstrate many of these VFX effects during our talk with the help of our green screen. These techniques include video compositing into live rendering 3D set pieces for browser based web experiences, real-time live action match moving and controlling stop motion sets with a mouse.
Panel 2: The Agency Playground: How To Play Nice With Others?
At SXSW, you'll be sitting next, talking to, having drinks with brand marketers, agency folks, startup founders, freelancers, etc. For one week, we manage to all play nice. Then, we go back and collaborate relatively freely within our office and clients. But when asked to collaborate with other agencies, things can go downhill quickly. In an open conversation, we'll outline ways to cut the tension, play nice and even get new business.
Do either of these panels sound interesting? Then swing on over the SXSW PanelPicker selection to cast your vote. ClickFire Media will thank you!
