On Tuesday, October 24/06, Kert Gartner; Frantic Films' compositor extraordinaire, will present the Visual FX of Superman. The presentation is on the 2nd floor of the Psych Health Centre and begins at 7:00 pm sharp. There is no charge to attend and all are welcome.

Kert will go through a number of shots he completed for Superman Returns and show how some of these complex scenes were built using Digital Fusion. For some background on Digital Fusion, the software behind Tuesday night's presentation, visit www.eyeonline.com. Update: We will be giving away a FULL retail verion of Fusion 5 to one lucky New Media Manitoba Subscriber in attendance. The value of this software is over $5000 USD! Your chances to win have never been better! The first 40-attendees will receive a watermakred version of Fusion 5 along with in-disk training.

Kert is a longtime trainer with New Media Manitoba. If you've attended any of his sessions in the past you'll know that most of the seating fills up quick. Get there early if you want a choice seat and watch Kert rebuild the VFX magic that went into Superman Returns.
