Discover the mammoth VFX behind Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age with Framestore’s BAFTA-nominated and VES Award-winning team.

Join VFX Supervisor Gavin McKenzie, Creature Supervisor Dorothy Ballarini, FX Supervisor Guy Schuleman, and Lead Modeller Andrea De Martis as they deconstruct the technical journey of reanimating the Pleistocene era.

This session offers an in-depth look at the art and science of the award-winning series, featuring deep dives into:

• The Science: How CG assets bridged the gap between fossil records and living creatures
• Puppets: Working with on-set puppetry for technical reference
• Environmental FX: Crafting large-scale simulations for a world frozen in ice

Crafting Impact—Making Climate Change Felt Through VFX | Redivider Studio

In celebration of Earth Day, creative studio Redivider takes audiences from the prehistoric to the modern day, showing how storytelling and visual effects can turn abstract environmental issues into tangible, emotional experiences, and, in doing so, inspire change. The presentation will showcase two standout projects: Woolmark – Wear Wool, Not Waste, which transforms the environmental impact of synthetic clothing into bold, cinematic visuals, and Redivider’s recent CGI Greenpeace film for the Winter Olympics, making global climate challenges visible and felt. It will also highlight Redivider’s lean, agile approach: small, close-knit teams collaborating directly with tool builders and custom pipelines, ensuring technology serves the creative process,not the other way around. Attendees will gain insight into how narrative, craft, and innovation combine to create work that drives impact.
