19th Visual Effects Society Awards Celebrate Outstanding Work by Young Talent with the Student Award, Sponsored by Autodesk In a typical year, producing the stunning visual effects and animation seen in this year’s VES Student Award nominees is already a challenging feat. But when the pandemic forced students to quickly adapt to remote learning and collaboration, it's truly remarkable to witness the level of creativity, innovation, and craftsmanship displayed by these emerging artists. Their ability to overcome obstacles while delivering high-quality work is nothing short of impressive. This year’s nominees span a wide range of projects, from fully animated shorts to live-action films featuring computer-generated characters, environments, and effects. Among the entries were “Time’s Down†(ARTFX, France), “ARAL†(ARTFX, France), “Strands of Mind†(Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, Germany), and “Migrants†(Pôle 3D, France). Each project highlights the potential of young filmmakers who managed to produce exceptional results despite the challenges of working remotely and dealing with studio shutdowns.

The VES Student Award was once again sponsored by Autodesk for the 13th consecutive year, and this year it went to the team behind “Migrants.†The animated short, created by Aubin Kubiak, Antoine Dupriez, Hugo Caby, Lucas Lermytte, and Zoé Devise, tells the story of a polar bear and its cub navigating environmental and socio-political issues like climate change, racism, and the refugee crisis. To engage younger audiences, the film uses charming stuffed animal characters and a stop-motion aesthetic that adds warmth and depth to the narrative. The team shared their creative process: “Our first step was to create a strong reference base for all the assets in the film. We did most of the shape retakes in 3D and used our references to develop textures. We built the assets, environments, and lighting with the idea of a stop-motion scene. So, our main focus was on scale—right from modeling to compositing and managing focal blur.†“The biggest challenge was finding the global look of the movie,†they added. “We wanted to match the stop-motion feel, so we had to find solutions at every stage of production. Making the characters move like puppets, ensuring the environment and characters looked handmade, and perfecting the visual effects were all part of the process.†Throughout the project, the team worked remotely from home, but thanks to strong IT support from their school, Pôle 3D, they were able to maintain productivity and motivation. “With the challenges brought by the pandemic and remote work, we had to become more independent while still collaborating closely,†they said. “It took some time to adjust, but we ended up being almost as effective as if we were on campus.†Congratulations to all the talented students recognized this year. Their dedication and creativity have set a new standard for the future of visual storytelling. Well done!
The oil-gas separation filter is a device that separates the micro oil droplet to ensure that the lubrication system can work well and almost no micro oil droplet goes out of the air flow of the compressor . Applications: Solid-liquid, gas-solid, gas-liquid separation and purification in the fields of petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, aviation, electronics, power, pharmaceutical, environmental protection, atomic energy, nuclear industry, natural gas, refractory materials, fire-fighting equipment, etc.
The air from the compressor mains is filled with oil droplets of different sizes. Large oil droplets are easily separated by the oil-gas separation tank, while small oil droplets (suspended) must be filtered by the oil-gas separation filter. The correct choice of glass fiber diameter and thickness is an important factor to ensure the filtration effect. After the element filtered, the small oil droplets are quickly polymerized into large oil droplets, which go to the bottom of the Filter Element. These oils are returned to the lubrication system through the inlet of the return line at the bottom of the filter element, allowing the compressor to discharge relatively pure, high-quality compressed air.
