Rango Supervisors at Previs 2011

The Previsualization Society is pleased to announce that Tim Alexander and Colin Benoit will join us as speakers at the Previs 2011 event on October 22. 

In 1996 Tim Alexander joined Industrial Light & Magic where he rapidly ascended from the rank of compositor to a Visual Effects Supervisor. As a testament to his drive and tremendous talent, Alexander has twice been nominated for the BAFTA award, one resulting in a win for The Perfect Storm.  He has also received a Visual Effects Society award nomination for Best Visual Effects of the Year for his work on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.  Prior to joining ILM, Alexander spent three years at Walt Disney Studios where he worked on the feature film James and the Giant Peach. His most recently worked as Visual Effects Supervisor on Gore Verbinski’s first animated feature, Rango.

Benoit has worked as a Layout Supervisor on Poseidon and Iron Man, as part of a small, fast-paced previsualization team on Speed Racer, and as an Animation Sequence Lead on Star Trek, supervising camera work and animation for the space jump sequence.  Most recently, he's been leading the layout team on Rango, ILM's first animated feature, where he's had the opportunity to work extensively with Director Gore Verbinski to help achieve a style that is incredibly unique for the animated film genre.
