Ethan Shaftel - filmmaker and director, will walk attendees through the technical and creative workflow that he and animator Frank Stringini used to experiment and create, EXTRAVAGANZA, a VR film that premiered at Tribeca this year that relied on Cinema 4D and MAXONs CV-VR Cam plugin, and the low barrier to entry in this exciting new medium.

Jeremy Cox - a New York-based Emmy Award-winning designer and director for film and television at Imaginary Forces, will demonstrate his R&D process within Cinema 4D on recent projects, including the 2016 Euro Cup coverage on ESPN and this year's SXSW Gaming Awards, starting with nothing but a rough idea to arrive at the best solution to the problem.

Aude Guivarch - multimedia director and motion designer at the Moment Factory in Montreal, draws on the collective inspiration for immersive projects she has conceptualized, designed and directed for clients including Madonna, Justin Timberlake, JayZ, Imagine Dragons and Ed Sheeran. The presentation will focus on the motion captured hands choreography built for the song The Handler on the Muse concert tour to reveal a hybrid workflow process that includes linking mocap animation to a rig in Cinema 4D, music-driven compositing and assembling and tweaking keyframe animations.

Steve Teeple - an Oakland, Calif.-based digital artist best known as Teeps , will show his process and time-saving tips for integrating virtual reality tools into Cinema 4D for concept art, design, and animation with a highlight on using the motion system to harness motion capture data to seamlessly blend character animations.
