How many people are needed to work together to create an animated film? How does the director develop alongside the characters they bring to life? And how do these works get selected to participate in the most prestigious international film festivals? Péter Vácz, a versatile and experimental animation filmmaker, can be seen through the interpretation of Attila Hartung in FOMO: Megosztod, és uralkodsz (2019). Many people think that animation is only suitable for creating cartoons for children. From the life path and history of Péter Vácz, we couldn't be more wrong: due to its technical capabilities and freedom, animation is a genre with limitless possibilities and a perfect tool for interpreting stories with a personal tone aimed specifically at an adult audience. ☞ The Ways of Creation series offers a glimpse into the career paths of individual MOME alumni in the form of special portrait films.

🎬 Dive into the Future of Filmmaking with Virtual Production As a director deeply invested in the intersection of art and science, I've dedicated over 5 years to exploring the boundless potential of virtual production. My journey has led to the creation of over 200 virtual locations/scenes, pushing the envelope of what's possible in the realm of filmmaking. 🌐 Today, I’m thrilled to share a cornerstone of my work: My 2-Minute Director's VP Showreel. This compilation highlights the most striking scenes and shots from recent projects, all meticulously crafted using Unreal Engine and LED screen technology. This endeavor was made possible through collaborative efforts with some of Poland's premier studios— ATM Virtual, VUFINDER STUDIOS, Platige Image—and the exceptional talent of cinematographers Tomasz Ziółkowski, Bartek Hlawka, Michał Sobociński, and Michal Dabal. Whether you're an industry professional, a fellow creator, or an enthusiast intrigued by the magic of movies, this showreel is meant to inspire. It represents not just a reflection of my work, but an open invitation to envision, innovate, and engage in the transformative potential of virtual production. 👀 Watch and let’s engage in a conversation about how virtual production can redefine your next project.

Cinematographer Greig Fraser talks about using UE on Dune: Part 2, calling it an incredible tool in pre-production. I wholeheartedly agree that planning and previsualizing complex shots 🌅, in a virtual sense - even if you plan to shoot them on location 🌎 eventually, is a great creative gift. It’s not only useful for creatives but also for production management 📋 and creating replicas of a location to map out your production village, and more 🚐🚗. We built a prototype app that lets you explore such virtual environments and digital twins using a VR headset I predict soon, Google will just have this as a paid plug in 🌐. It already has its tiles available for development but I’m talking about using your phone as an instant Cine camera actor 🎥 (enabling UE tools on mobile) and allow multi user experience, on a persistent (metaverse) digital twin geographic location, in high definition. It will become ubiquitous to the process, weaving in unity the virtual and the real world. Using Google and UE: https://lnkd.in/gYPfmtX3

"IN BETWEEN" is a short animated art film that explores moments, caught amidst breaths and runaway thoughts. 🤔💭 It's a meditative journey that can be suggestive and cathartic - but can we recognize internal freedom when we're feeding a rainstorm? 🧘 --------- Stylistically, "IN BETWEEN" is connected to and adds another layer to "GRAIN, BEHIND THE EYES", which explores how we see raw ideas behind closed eyes. --------- “What you are looking for is already in you... You already are everything you are seeking.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh, You Are Here --------- #shortfilm #animation #creative #abstract #experimental #artfilm #artdirection #experience #creativity #growth #change #mindfulness #mentalhealth #meditation LinkedIn LinkedIn for Creators

Happy to share my new project, animated short film "Prajanize" To explain the phenomenon of Sergei Parajanov, Yuri Mechitov came up with the term "to parajanize", which means to exhibit oneself, to epathise, to challenge, to provoke, but above all to create one's own world. This term fully describes the idea of the film. "Prajanize" is a reflection on the inner freedom of the artist, which cannot be contained by any restrictions. The desire to see beauty and the understanding of its value help to create art that can change the world. Watch on Vimeo: https://lnkd.in/eexVkQfG #animation #shortfilm #stopmotion #motiondesign
