Title:


    Let There Be Hair

Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):



Description:


    The trademark look of Rapunzel in Disney’s Tangled presented unique challenges in grooming, animation, rendering, and pipeline management. Her hair was highly art directed and seventy feet long. The length of the hair, the amount of screen space it occupied, and the role it played within the film necessitated advanced planning in order to treat it very much as if it were a character. This talk discusses the original hair roadmap and changes required during production.
