About us
Formed in 2008, in alliance with the Vancouver ACM SIGGRAPH chapter, the Spark Computer Graphics (Spark CG) Society has been working behind the scenes of Vancouver’s computer graphics community, organizing and hosting events that foster community, ignite the imagination and advance technology. Since the inaugural SPARK FX in January 2008 and SPARK ANIMATION in September 2008, the Spark CG Society has continued to bring the best of the international community to Vancouver and over the years has played host to a number of luminaries including Glen Keane, Syd Mead, David Fine, Tomm Moore, John Knoll, Dennis Muren, Mark Osborne, Joe Letteri, Roger Allers and Nora Twomey, as well as a number of Academy Award winning teams behind everything from Back to the Future and Lord of the Rings to Birdman and Interstellar. The quality of Spark CG guests speaks volumes, not only to Spark CG’s dedication to bring the very best in the industry to Vancouver, but the organization’s continued commitment to bring the local professional and international communities together. In 2011, the Spark CG team was instrumental in building momentum to ensure the success of SIGGRAPH 2011. The conference was a resounding success, returning to Vancouver in 2014. In the coming years, Spark CG will be working diligently to support the SIGGRAPH conference which returns to Vancouver in 2018. The Spark CG Society continues to promote and foster the local computer graphics community by producing and co-hosting events, supporting other local organizations and producing its signature events SPARK FX and SPARK ANIMATION.

Tomorrow, come visit Spark FX 2026 a conference presented by Spark CG Society at the Roundhouse. I get to moderate a discussion with this fantastic creepy offering. If you haven't seen Keeper yet, do so, but don't go alone. The VFX team contributed to a very tense film with unexpected and quite brilliant applications of VFX throughout.
Saturday - March 28, 1:30 PM Spark CG Society PRESENTATION EXPLORING THE HORRORS IN 'KEEPER' Presented by Image Engine with VFX Producer Brian Sepanzyk, VFX Supervisor Edward Douglas & VFX Supervisor Jenn Taylor Regular: $20 (incl. GST and transaction fees) Tickets are available at the door. https://lnkd.in/gp4grGdr In 'Keeper', a folk-horror story filmed in Vancouver, a woman’s reality begins to fracture as a secluded cabin getaway descends into visceral psychological unravelling. Rather than pursuing spectacle, director Osgood Perkins and visual effects supervisor Ed Douglas focused on building tension and emotional weight over shock value. Join production visual effects supervisor Ed Douglas, Jenn Taylor, visual effects supervisor and Brian Sepanzyk, visual effects producer at Image Engine, for a deeper look at the horrors in 'Keeper'. From early concept art and real-world references to performance-driven animation and final integration, the panel will explore how collaborative trust helped shape creature effects that amplify psychological impact, proving that the most powerful storytelling often comes from what feels disturbingly real.

In this session, beloFX VFX Supervisor Russell Bowen unpacks the Oscar-nominated work used to recreate California’s deadliest wildfire for Paul Greengrass’s The Lost Bus. Centered on a 45-square-kilometre "digital twin" of Northern California built in Unreal Engine, Russell will explore how a real-time first workflow enabled the team to navigate complex virtual scouting and achieve the film’s signature “Ember Cam” handheld aesthetic. The talk dives into the technical hurdles of scaling real-time systems into Houdini and the resilient pipeline that allowed the team to pivot seamlessly to full CG when real-world 2024 wildfires disrupted production. Attendees will gain a behind-the-scenes look at how early-stage VFX integration achieved a grounded, photorealistic tribute to the Paradise community.
