Abstract:


    Join the visual effects team behind Disney’s live-action remake of the 1991 animated classic as we discuss the creative and technical challenges behind bringing this wonderful and exciting film to life. As we take you on a highlight tour of our two year journey, you will get a chance to see how the film’s many characters and environments evolved from initial concepts and studies to finished designs. We explore the technology behind achieving Dan Steven’s remarkable Beast performance, the process of building complex scenes such as “Be Our Guest” and throughout all this, will catch an inside glimpse at how the unique and continued collaboration with key production departments (art, costume, music, choreography) was critical to the overall success of the project.
