  • Christophe Gwynne
    Christophe Gwynne Summary: President, Rooster Founder and Big Bird. It was during a 2003 photo-documentary trip to Bangkok that the idea of creating Rooster took seed in Chris’ mind. Impressed by the production quality of the commercials he saw in the Asian market, Chris felt he could elevate the art form by bringing in creative talent from Hollywood and letting their imagination run wild in a new environment. With over 17 years of experience in post-production, he’s worked for some of the most respected names in the industry, representing some the world’s biggest brands, in many different capacities, from technical director, to project management, to creative direction and live action director. With dual American and Swiss citizenship, Chris was born in Greece and grew up in Latin America, Europe and Japan, before moving to the New York area for high school. Chris is the quintessential “citizen of the world.” A Boston University Film School graduate with a degree in Communications concentrating in film, photography and art history he's been a computer graphics fanatic since discovering Space Invaders in Tokyo in 1979. If he wasn’t running his own post-production design studio, he’d be shooting photos for National Geographic. Chris has been a CG Supervisor in Los Angeles since the TV series South Park in 1997 and has gone on to work on features such as Matrix Revolutions, Hellboy, Elektra, Superman Returns and Ironman as well as participate in ground breaking commercial work as a designer/animator at studios such as Imaginary Forces, Logan, Buck, Stardust, Picture Mill and Prologue Films.

Categories A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Heart and ‘Soul’ of Pixar’s Latest 29 ACM SIGGRAPH Feature DEC 2020 Adaptive Technology by SIGGRAPH Conferences | posted in: Animation, Conferences, Film, Production | 0 Animation © Disney/Pixar Art “Soul,” which opened on Disney+ on 25 December 2020, tells the story of Joe Gardner, a middle school music teacher and aspiring jazz Augmented Reality performer whose soul separates from his body after an untimely accident. The film, which is Pixar’s first Black-led feature, was the Awards focus of several SIGGRAPH 2020 Talks presentations and was completed from a distance during the COVID-19 pandemic. We caught up with Pixar’s Michael Fong (supervising technical director) and Bill Watral (effects supervisor) to hear more about how they created Business the characters of “Soul,” the contrast between the settings of New York City and the astral world of the Great Beyond, the most Conferences impactful scenes, and what it was like to wrap a film while working remotely during the pandemic. Data SIGGRAPH: The characters in “Soul” are more abstract than other Pixar film characters. What techniques did you use to ensure the characters would appear “non-physical” and “formless”? How did this differ from other films you’ve worked on? Design Education Michael Fong (MF): The characters are really different for us.
