SUMMARY:Crowds (and Songs!)
DESCRIPTION:The Cinematography of Songs in Disney's "Moana 2"\n\nThe direc
 tors of cinematography of “Moana 2” talk through the lighting design and t
 he camera language used across three of the songs and how it supports the 
 progression of Moana's physical and emotional journey, touching on themes 
 of "Heightened Reality", "Chaotic Theatrics" and "Playful...\n\n\nSucheta

  Disney Animation Studios)\n---------------------\nThe Art of Crowds Anima
 tion\n\nScenes in which multiple characters come to life to achieve a cohe
 sive performance present a unique set of animation challenges. While the t
 echniques and workflows evolve, there are constant underlying principles. 
 With examples, we present a distillation of the essence of the art of crow
 ds animation...\n\n\nAlberto J. Luceño Ros and Jeff Sullivan (Walt Disney 
 Animation Studios)\n---------------------\nHow to Break Crowd Simulation A
 lgorithms\n\nVirtual crowd simulation is prevalent in graphics and VFX. We
  demonstrate that widely popular state-of-the-art algorithms fail in sever
 al basic benchmark cases. With the goal of designing more robust algorithm
 s, we propose a workaround, which can be easily integrated into real-time 
 applications that...\n\n\nAlexander Chen (The Academy of Math, Science and

 : A Slippery Problem Space\n\nCollisions are a key problem in generating c
 omplex crowds animation. The mudskippers in Walt Disney Animation Studios'
  "Moana 2" presented a particularly challenging scenario as they pack tigh
 tly together to form a towering pile. Our solution introduces an additiona
