Who is our guest speaker?Our guest speaker is named Colin Dwan, and he is from a company called Prologue Games, right here in Durham, NC. He made a game series named Knee Deep, which has 3 parts (or acts) that can be found on Steam. What did we learn?We learned the processes in making games, and the "error analysis" involved with the games. For example, he told us that the QA Editor (or whatever it is called) checks for ways to break the game that he/she is testing. So basically, they break games for a living, and then tell the designer of each game about his/her discoveries. My thoughts about the presentation and my career after graduationThe presentation made me think about my career after college graduation. I want to become a QA Tester, because whenever I play games, I always look for a way to break them. This job will suit me very well. I'm hoping to get a degree in Computer Science, so I have a fall back plan when the games are made and I can't find work.

Who is our guest speaker?Our guest speaker, Richard White, is the assistant director of Terminator Genesis (2015), Max Steel (2016), and 300: Rise of an Empire (2014). He taught us some techniques for Visualization. He also showed us clips from the movies or the planning of the movie (forgot what it was called). What did we learn?We learned how they made their movies. He taught us about using CG to make everything look real. He also taught us about using CG on a face to make it look like another. For example, he told us that in the time travel scene, they drew lines on a body-builder's face, then replaced it with Arnold's face from the old Terminator movie. Sci viz in filmsVisualization is needed in film. You couldn't have edits, posters, or backgrounds. When you use a Green Screen, you have to use visualization, to get the right background texture. You also make sure that it actually looks real by using civilization.
