In this talk, I will answer an often-asked question, "How does Respawn keep making hits with its smaller team"?
The focus will be on how the art department solves this riddle. However, as with most things in game development, it is intertwined with the larger picture of the project. So we will peer behind the scenes into factors that shaped Apex Legends and what challenges they presented to the art team.
We will dive into the strategy behind the art direction and the culture that helped us launch successfully. Wait, it doesn't end there? Nope, Apex Legends is a "live service" game.
Something that Respawn has never done before. I will finish by shedding some light on how the Apex Legends team adapts to these new challenges.
In this presentation, Erik, a former cinematographer at Pixar Animation Studio, shares his insights on how films are constructed, and visual language is developed.
He takes us through his creative process and demonstrates how storytelling is elevated through cinematography, using examples from his favorite projects at Pixar: Incredibles 2 and Piper.
With a diverse background in art, action, cinematography, and science, Erik's 20 years of experience at Pixar make him the perfect person to explain how he uses these skills to tell emotionally compelling stories with the laws of physics.
Join us to learn how Erik thinks and sets up his work and gain a deeper understanding of the magic behind the movies.
