5D Conference : Reality and Hyper Reality Pt 2 - Scott Robertson

REALITY AND HYPER REALITY: ENVISIONING NEW DESIGN PARADIGMS IN
CG ANIMATION 5D|08

PART 2 - SCOTT ROBERTSON

This panel examines the future of environment and character in design-based entertainment.
What happens when the audience's age-old "willing suspension of disbelief" is challenged by
extremely varied digital interpretations of reality? What new opportunities exist for designers
when the audience is prepared to accept everything from representational depictions of known
environments, to video-game based aesthetics of form, texture and character design in "blended
cinema", to completely imagined artwork worlds and characters of CG animated movies? What
will they accept tomorrow? How can entertainment designers stay ahead of the curve?

Moderator: John Tarnoff—head of show development, DreamWorks Animation

Panelists:
Evan Douglis—chair of undergraduate School of Architecture, Pratt Institute
Scott Robertson—principle designer and founder of Drawthrough
Gore Verbinski—director (Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy)
Lance Williams—scientist and consultant for
Disney, Apple, Dreamworks, Jim Henson, and Google
