This has to be one of the industry events of the year for us lighting enthusiasts - Mr Dan Lemmon, the lighting designer (more accurately the Visual Effects Supervisor)  for Avatar is going to be in Melbourne and Sydney in March to talk to members and guests of the IALD.

In Melbourne the event will be held at Hoyts cinema in Melbourne Central (where I believe attendees will be issued with 3d glasses) on 30 March.

Dan is going to reveal how the amazing special effects and generally sublime rendering in the film is achieved.  We think that Dan may have even re-written some of the laws of physics in creating these effects (how could he possibly have made things look so amazing otherwise?).

It’s open to anyone, if you want to come leave a comment with your details and I’ll see that you get in.

Things are really starting to happen for the IALD in Australia.  We have more members here than anywhere else in the world outside of the US.  The IALD seeks to bring 3-4 really top-class presentations per year to Melbourne and Sydney.
