Published: Last Updated:

VFX Masterclass with the visual effects legend behind 2001: Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Blade Runner and many more.

In this superb two hour masterclass, visual effects legend Douglas Trumbull walks through his entire career including:

“Firsthand accounts of working with director Stanley Kubrick and conceptualizing special effects which are today considered the defining breakthrough of the medium. Other topics included: the history of widescreen cinema – from Cinerama to today’s IMAX, Trumbull’s work with motion-simulation rides, and the current state of digital special effects and Trumbull’s own involvement with these innovations.”

This masterclass was filmed at a Higher Learning event at TIFF Bell Lightbox.
