SUMMARY:Crossing Dimensions: Virtual Productions and Characters
DESCRIPTION:Digital Meets Handmade: Can VP enhance stop-motion?\n\nAn R&D 
 initiative within Aardman Animations exploring VP technologies for stop-mo
 tion film making. Taking a holistic view of VP from story development thro
 ugh to delivery. Utilising real-time tools, digital twins, and a cross pla
 tform XR sandbox. Striving to evolve traditional processes, enhancing c...

 --------------------\nFabricating Stop Motion Creatures Using CG Grooms\n\
 nOur groundbreaking groom pipeline for LAIKA's "Wildwood" revolutionizes s
 top-motion puppet fabrication through CG-assisted silicone casting. By lev
 eraging the VFX team's 3D models and digital grooms, we were able to scale
  to the needs of this epic feature, while providing anisotropic characteri
 stics...\n\n\nMicah Henrie (Brytag Creative, LAIKA)\n---------------------
 \nFrom storytelling to story making: Interactive techniques to creating im
 mersion in public spaces.\n\nImmersion may be ancient, but creating collec
 tive, interactive experiences  remains a challenge even today. Opaque inte
 rfaces, cognitive overload, and co-presence can hinder engagement. Through
  case studies, this talk explores practical frameworks for leveraging real
 -time engines, novel HCI, and lar...\n\n\nChristopher Panzetta (Story 1st

 manoid Alien Characters\n\nThis talk examines the challenges and innovatio
 ns in designing and rigging non-humanoid alien characters with unconventio
 nal anatomies for Pixar’s Elio. The team explored creatures with limbless,
  multi-segmented, and fluid bodies, requiring novel animation and rigging
