This Thursday at the Gnomon, supervisors, producers, and artists from the V and Heroes will be giving an overview of how they planned and developed thousands of shots for prime time.  This event is a great chance for those interested in the process of storyboarding, pre-vis, and compositing for TV production.  Attendees will be privy to solutions for vfx under tight budgets and deadlines; including Realtime on-set compositing. Definitely worth a look if you want to know where compositing tech is headed.
