On February 18th, 2010, at the Universal Hilton, Createasphere’s Entertainment Technology Exposition (ETE) will present the key experts who helped bring the biggest movie of all time to the screen and beyond, to share their insights and experiences.
Dan Restuccio, West Coast Editor of POST Magazine, will moderate the discussion and screening. The blue-ribbon panel includes Joyce Cox, Visual Effects Producer (VES Nominee for "Avatar"), John Refuoa, ACE, (Eddie nominated for "Avatar"), Stephen Rivkin, ACE, (Eddie nominated for "Avatar"), Christopher Marino, Visual Effects Editor and Skip Kimball, DI Colorist, Modern VideoFilm. The panel will focus on a discussion of the technical and creative process that brought "Avatar," arguably one of the most game-changing films of all time, to the screen.
Kristin Petrovich-Kennedy, President of Createasphere comments, "To have a number of the key contributors from “Avatar” with us, is an honor. After seeing this amazing accomplishment, I believe that anyone who has a vested interest in a creative or technical career in content creation will be extremely motivated to hear these experts and artists talk about their experiences."
This not-to-be-missed panel will be accompanied by a 3D screening of clips and making of materials. Registration for the event is free until February 17th, 5 pm PST.
