Ian will provide a behind-the-scenes look at what show-side VFX supervision entails. The presentation breaks down the full arc of production, from early prep and writers-room collaboration through production, post, and final delivery, emphasizing how VFX integrates with every department along the way. 

The talk also explores creative decision-making, budget and asset strategy, vendor partnerships, and the challenges of adapting expansive source material for television. 

This event is a great learning opportunity for students preparing to enter the industry and working professionals interested in how large-scale episodic VFX is structured and led. 

Presentation Highlights:

What show-side VFX supervision really looks like 

VFX transition from post-production to foundational discipline 

On-set collaboration + practical vs. digital choices 

Like imagine it in an AU where Gnomon manages to raise Duke, he could make a deal with his fellow immortal Ra's; Gnomon provides Ra's with an army of metahumans & in return Ra's trains Duke to become Gnomon's successor.

Could see Talia & Elaine becoming friends of sorts & even collaborating to get their babies out of danger which could lead to Elaine, Duke & Damian dipping to Gotham.
