Mark Swain
Disney Feature Animation
Digital production in filmmaking has exploded in the 90's. The newly converted digital artists have a lavish set of 2D and 3D packages at their disposal in today's multimedia software environments. These production tools enable them to depict a wide range of expressions and special effects. The key to making these tools not feel like alien technology is to accommodate the artist's workflow by placing needed tools into the artist's hands and by providing interfaces that conform to the artist. This talk will address the impact of user interface design on digital production in the fast-paced entertainment industry.
Mark Swain has been working in digital production for over 8 years. His work has appeared in dozens of national commercials, MTV's Liquid Television, feature films, and the 1990 SIGGRAPH Film and Video Theater. Mark is currently a Technical Director/Designer at Disney Feature Animation in Los Angeles.
