VFX Supervisors of the Movie '300' on May 8th...

L.A. SIGGRAPH presents '300' visual effects supervisor Chris Watts and other visual effects supervisors from the hit movie '300'. I've invited my friend Chris Watts and a distinguished panel of visual effects supervisors from many post-production houses that built sequences for '300'. They'll screen clips from the movie and explain how the visual effects and unique look of the film were created. Outdoor reception 6:30-7:30pm, presentation 7:30-9:30. Barnsdall Gallery Theatre, 4800 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood. Tuesday, May 8th, 2007. $15 at the door (or $35 to join L.A. SIGGRAPH for the year http://la.siggraph.org).

Visual Effects Panel from '300' on May 8th

If you're interested in the hit movie '300' and want to understand its visual effects this is a must-see event! Chris Watts is a very entertaining speaker, and '300' is this year's huge surprise hit with $422M in worldwide box office. Every time I've heard Chris speak about '300' the event has been standing room only. This panel is the only time a group of the visual effects supervisors from the movie has presented together. Don't miss it!
