Joe Lawson Talk Info
-------------------------------------------------
Joe Lawson, visual effects supervisor and film director
at The Global Asylum. Joe has worked in Hollywood for
almost 14 years as technical director, effects supervisor,
storyboardist, compositor, and director. Joe has recently
become infamous for being the VFX supervisor for this
summer's guilty pleasure; "Sharknado". Joe will talk about
the joys and challenges for artists in modern Hollywood,
and translating VFX skills into being a director. In
addition to working for a time in Minneapolis, he is also
the animator who killed Peter Jackson (by compositing an
arrow into him) for the 3rd Lord of the Rings film.

Joe Lawson will be giving two presentations on Thursday,
December 5th 2013: One at 1:30 in the afternoon at the
Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and another in
the evening at the 2013 Minnesota Electronic Theater at
The Crooked Pint Ale House in Downtown Minneapolis.
The talks are free and open to the public.
We look forward to seeing you at both of these talks.
