Tim Webber, an Academy Award-winning VFX Supervisor and Creative Director is in Trieste to present the movie he worked on, “The Flight”, during the 60th edition of Trieste Science + Fiction festival that ends tonight, 1 November.
Tim Webber is known for his incredible work in Children of Men, Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, Spike Jonze’s highly original CG characters in Where the Wild Things Are, and James Cameron’s incredible Avatar.
He was Warner Brothers’ VFX Supervisor on Alfonso Cuarón’s space thriller, Gravity, for which he won a VFX BAFTA and Oscar. The groundbreaking techniques developed for the film were wholly realized by Tim and the Framestore team, including the Light Box, which was one of Time Magazine’s inventions of the year.
In 2014 he was named in the Sunday Times’ 100 Makers of the 21st Century list; was awarded the Royal Photographic Society’s Progress Medal for his work on the film; and was part of Ad Age’s Creativity 50.
