SPFX with Dynamic Effects Workshop
Presented By: J.R Kenny and Team
Practical special effects in film have the power to transport audiences to fantastical worlds, create realistic portrayals of historical events, and add an emotional depth that enhances storytelling. There are effects that wow the audience — “How did they do that?!” These effects are often used to create a sense of realism and can be particularly effective for portraying physical objects such as explosions, creatures, or vehicles. At this industry workshop the Dynamic Effects Collective, a family-based Special Effects company will show you how they transform creative visions into reality - if you can imagine it, they can create it.
Learn from this team of professionals and interactive stations designed to show you the “behind the scenes” of SPFX at the Biltmore Theatre, Oshawa on October 26 from 12:45 – 2:15 pm.
