Photo Credit: Industrial Light + Magic 1.30pm Ironman: Behind the Mask Tom Martinek, Industrial Light + Magic Go behind the scenes of one of last summer's hottest movies and see what it takes to make a hero. Industrial Light + Magic veteran Tom Martinek will walk you through the techniques used to bring this Marvel Comics legend to life. He'll cover the production from concept art to finished shots, including some never seen before test footage. 2.15pm Don't make me angry: dissecting the inner Hulk Hans Rijpkema, Rhythm & Hues Studios Hans puts the Incredible Hulk on the couch and see what makes his dual personality tick and how Rhythm & Hues tried to deal with the green monster's physical and emotional issues. For the ‘Hulk-out’ effect from Bruce Banner to the Hulk it was necessary to non-uniformly transition between two different characters with different topologies, proportions, and sizes. A single transformation rig meant the animator could control the timing of when and how each individual part of the body transformed. A very tight integration of rigging, animation, and lighting was required. The deformations of the characters were almost entirely based on a muscle-based system that allows for automated and manually controlled muscle flexing. 3.00pm Break 3.15pm The Design of Horton Hears a Who! Jason Sadler, Blue Sky Studios How do you translate Dr Seuss into a CG animated feature? Jason will explain how the visual development department at Blue Sky Studios transformed the Dr Seuss world from Ted Geisel’s pen and ink illustrations into their 3D animated treatment. We will look at the department’s three main disciplines, environment design, colour design, and Jason’s specialty, character design. 4.00pm The Tale of Despereaux: delivering Framestore's first fully animated feature film Andy Lomas, Framestore Based on Kate DiCamillo's novel, a Newbery Medalwinner for children's literature, Despereaux is the tale of three misfits – a banished mouse, a rat who likes the light and a young servant girl with cauliflower ears – whose fates are intertwined with a princess. Andy will demonstrate some of the key challenges faced by Framestore in the production of the studios’ first fully animated feature and show how some of the key scenes were created. 5.00pm Close 7.30pm Lounge at the Hub, Students’ Union Join delegates and speakers for a relaxed evening over a beer and a bite to eat; music to listen to and animation to watch.

© Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved 1.30pm The evolution of Mickey Mouse Charles Solomon Eighty years after his debut in Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse remains the most famous and immediately recognisable character in cartoon history. But over the decades, as their skill and artistry grew, the Disney animators altered Mickey's design, anatomy and style of animation. The changes Mickey Mouse underwent encapsulate the evolution of American animation, especially during the ‘Golden Age’ of the 1930's. Animation historian Charles Solomon traces the growth of Mickey from the rubbery golliwog in Plane Crazy to the mischievous charmer in The Sorcerer's Apprentice to the suburban Everymouse of the 1950s. 2.15pm From 2D to 3D and Back Again Scott F Johnston, President, Fleeting Image Animation Inc.

In this talk Scott will highlight his experience on these films in relation to his specific area of expertise, integrating 2D and 3D. He will also investigate the technical and artistic issues of integrating technology and discuss where the industry is going with 2D and 3D production. 3.00pm Break 3.15pm The Biology of Bolt Professor Stuart Sumida, California State University Stuart gives Animex '09 attendees an inside look at the process of training animators, riggers and modelers about the construction and movement of the main characters for the Disney Feature Animation film Bolt. He will relate the process of immersing the studio artists in the nuances of the differences in locomotion between Bolt - a dog, Mittens - a cat, and Rhino - a hamster, and he'll describe how locomotor reference studies evolved as the character design of Bolt changed during the course of production. 4.00pm The Creation of Characters Mark Empey, Disney Feature Animation Described as “the most entertaining and well-crafted Disney Animation movie in years”, Bolt is Disney Feature Animation’s first feature film release since the company’s acquisition of Pixar.
