The capital city has been a fantastic place to be recently if you’re in the digital media space.
Over the last few weeks Wellington has hosted the launch of Creative Commons Aotearoa, a series of Digital Content Strategy workshops, and the AnimFxNZ07 symposium.
AnimFxNZ was a great experience, bringing together subject experts and industry representatives from around the world. Featured speakers included Dreamworks Animation Director Tim Johnson, Star Trek Visual FX Supervisor Dan Curry, and Executive Creative Director of BBC Children’s CBeebies Michael Carrington.
Tim Johnson opened the event with an enchanting presentation which made the point that the classic structure of a good story hasnt changed since Aristotle first defined it, while Michael Carrington made the gathering envious with his presentation about the range of work the Childrens’ Department of the BBC is doing in the fields of broadcasting, online and immersive worlds.
