Ever wondered how your favourite blockbusters bring dragons to life or make superheroes fly? Join us for The Science of Movie Magic, where we pull back the curtain on the cutting-edge tech behind today’s visual effects. From machine learning to virtual production, and the intricate VFX pipelines that make it all happen, our expert speakers will explore how science and storytelling collide on the big screen. Whether you're a film buff, tech enthusiast, or just curious about how it all works, this is your backstage pass to the future of filmmaking!

We are pleased to announce our panellists are:

New to SciPub? Wondering what we are about?
The principal goal of SciPubAdelaide is to make science engaging and accessible to the public. Each panel consists of three experts who deliver 10-15 minute presentations on their area and then open up to questions from the audience via a moderator. Panellists are selected primarily on their ability to effectively communicate science in an engaging and non-technical manner. SciPubAdelaide is held in a pub so that scientists, aspiring scientists, and non-scientists can learn, discuss and think critically about hot topics in science.
