Abstract:
The chills. The thrills. The spills. Tales of human courage under daunting odds. Epic disasters in the face of looming deadlines.
No, not the movie — the effects production.
Survival Stories from ‘Titanic’ provided an intimate, in-the-trenches look at what it took to coordinate a massive multi-company project of this scale, and the management and people skills required. At SIGGRAPH 97, attendees got a sneak preview of some of the awesome special effects in ‘Titanic.’ AT SIGGRAPH 98, they got an insider’s view of the trials and tribulations of creating this Academy Award-winning epic disaster movie.
