just got back from tonight's session of the

was going to be a talk on the schedule related to

<p>Description:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have you ever wondered how a computer science
degree could possibly lead to a career in
Hollywood? With over twenty-five years of
experience, Digital Domain visual effects
supervisor Thad Beier has witnessed a sea change
in the way films are made. Visual effects were
once considered a post-production process
reserved mainly for popcorn flicks, but the
industry has since evolved into a form of
digital production that can be as essential to a
film’s development as the script. Thad will
discuss the challenges of large-scale
production, from digital asset management to
software and pipeline development at a leading
studio with hundreds of employees and multiple
locations. </p>
<p>When? </p>
<p>Saturday 10/16/2010 11:15 AM to 12:30 PM </p>

<p>Thaddeus Beier, Visual Effects Supervisor A
twenty five year veteran of the visual effects

developer at Silicon Graphics. He has consulted
for studios including Universal, Walt Disney
Feature Animation, Cinesite and Sony Pictures
Imageworks. In 1999 he received a Scientific and
Technical Achievement Award from the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (AMPAS). Thad
started his career as an Animator at the New York
Institute of Technology working on the development
of early digital effects systems. He holds a
Bachelor of Arts degree in Electrical
Engineering/Computer Science from Johns Hopkins
University and is a member of the AMPAS Science
and Technology Council as well as their Visual
Effects Award Steering Committee. </p>

Uni High (whose south side is on Springfield
Avenue, just west of Goodwin in Urbana).

$20 if you want the optional meal plan)
organized by UI students in the local </font>Association
