Abstract:


    The animated movie How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World introduces a new species of dragon in the franchise: the Death- gripper. This dragon possesses the ability to spit green acid that both dissolves and sets ablaze objects that it touches. In this talk we present the various challenges posed by this somewhat unique effect from the visual development phase to production shots.
