Filmmakers are innovators, forced to find creative solutions to environments that don”™t support their vision. And when they can”™t change their environment in the moments after they call “Action,” filmmakers turn to visual effects”™ professionals in order to immerse audiences into worlds that are only possible on screen. Computer-generated post-production imaging is nearly as important today as the actors themselves.
On Thursday, Dec. 8, at 6 p.m., the Bruce Museum in Greenwich is hosting a program with pioneering film industry innovators David Ross and Nicholas Ashe Bateman who will share the ways they”™ve joined artistry, technology and storytelling to create worlds and characters beyond the lens of the filmmaker.
Bateman is a writer, director and visual artist from Baltimore, Maryland. He is the founder of Maere Studios, an award-winning visual effects and design company.
Ross is a director of photography, producer and photographer from Union County, New Jersey.
Located in Bruce Park overlooking Greenwich Harbor, the Bruce Museum is a community-based, world-class institution that offers a changing array of exhibitions and educational programs to promote the understanding and appreciation of art and science.
For over a century the Bruce Museum has delighted and engaged its visitors by presenting exceptional exhibitions in art, science and the intersections between the two disciplines.
