This is my first time organizing an important program as a committee member, to conduct meaningful "featured sessions" of the year. "The future of imaging" was honorably chosen to be the closing session of the conference.Session 1: He's Back! T2 25 years laterIn 1991, 25 years ago, movie history was made with T2 (Judgment Day). The use of computer-generated images in cinema had finally come of age. James Cameron and ILM utilized state of the art computer technology to help create some of the most memorable characters in the film. When audiences first saw the liquid metal T1000, they were mesmerized. Scott Ross the general Manager of ILM (in 1991) will host an in-depth discussion with Mark Dippe and Steve "Spaz" Williams (the team that created the breakthrough images). Attendees will be given a behind the scenes look at the challenges they faced, the technology they used, the process that was developed and the moment when they realized that they had forever changed the landscape of feature films.
