Here is some absolutely epic news. There is a masterclass on the making of Moon (that amazing Duncan Jones movie) taking place in Galway on Friday, Feb 10th.
Galway Film Centre and Fás Screen Training Ireland are holding the class. Its production designer, Tony Noble (The Good Shepherd, Rendition) and its art director, Hideki Arichi (Batman Begins, Troy, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith), will take part in this masterclass facilitated by production designer, Anna Rackard (Ondine, Stella Days, King Arthur).
This masterclass will focus on the following:
- Initial design & concept
- The design process, from first conversations to concept drawings to models to built sets/miniatures to final film (with VFX added)
- Working with the VFX supervisor (How did they break down what would be built in full size, in miniature or in part build, etc.)
- An in-depth examination of the built sets & exterior moonscape
- Graphics, set decoration, lighting, backings, the robot and vehicles
- The budget and what constraints that made on the design
The masterclass takes place in Galway City on Friday, February 10th from 11.30am to 2.30pm, and costs €25. While this masterclass focuses on the work of the art department, it would be of interest to all film personnel.
