Chris Landreth, director of the acclaimed computer-animated short film The Spine, will speak at this year’s SIGGRAPH conference in New Orleans.
Winner of an Academy Award for his 2004 short film, Ryan, Landreth is set to share insights into the development and the animation of The Spine in a special discussion set for Aug. 6.
Among the topics he intends to discuss are the ‘uncanny valley’ and how he tried to avoid its impact in The Spine.
The Spine was produced by the National Film Board of Canada in association with Copperheart Animation and C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures, with the creative participation of Autodesk Canada CO. and Seneca College School of Communication Arts.
