On March 16, from 11:00 to 15:00, Design for Film – Art and Costume Department meets VFX will take place at Kino 2, HFF München. The event brings together professionals and students to discuss the practical and creative intersections between digital and analog film production. Moderated by Waleska Leifeld, the panel includes Prof. Jürgen Schopper (HFF, VFX) and industry experts from Art and Costume Departments in film and series production.
Symposium at HFF München: Where Art Meets VFX
The symposium examines fundamental questions about interdisciplinary collaboration: Who communicates with whom—producers with VFX studios, location scouts with VFX supervisors? Who oversees the overall design? What role does a VFX supervisor’s independence play? At what stage is the decision made between digital and practical effects, and how does budget planning factor into this? The discussion also covers the integration of digital costume and art departments, the crucial on-set interactions between VFX supervisors and costume teams, and the evolving educational landscape for these fields.
Insights from VFX studies at HFF München, Production Design at ZHdK (Zürcher Hochschule der Künste), and Costume Design programs will provide context on how education aligns with industry demands. The symposium concludes with a networking session at Minna Thiel from 15:00 to 16:30.
