When Cinema and 3D Meet on the Red Carpet
Film festivals in Spain are not just stars and photocalls. For digital artists, they are the best showcase to display work, make contacts, and discover where the visual effects and animation industry is heading. And this fall is packed with opportunities.
The Events You Can't Miss
Among the key festivals for 3D professionals:
- San SebastiƔn: Made in Spain section with local productions
- Sitges: Mecca of fantasy cinema and VFX
- 3D Wire: Specialized in animation and new media
Where some see movies, we see hours of rendering, textures, and physics simulations. Every award is a collective triumph of the pipeline.
Beyond the Screenings
These events offer:
- Markets where VFX projects are negotiated
- Workshops with industry leaders
- Presentations of new software and technology
And the best part: no one will ask why you've been wearing the same hoodie for 3 days while rendering your latest project š„ļø.
How to Make the Most of Them?
Some recommendations:
- Prepare an updated showreel
- Research which studios will attend
- Don't underestimate the power of networking
And if you can't attend in the end, there's always plan B: follow the events via streaming with one hand on the mouse and the other on the coffee. But be careful, virtual red carpets also stain... with pixels š.
