Title:
- “Frozen 2” : Creating the Water Horse
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
In Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Frozen 2”, the Nokk appears as a horse made of water. Throughout the film, he assumes different forms: at times wild, and others calm; above and below the waterline; frozen and transitioning between states. This talk will describe the collaborative process of design, animation, simulation and lighting to achieve the look and feel of a character made of water.
