Abstract:
A key sequence in Up involves the ensnaring of Kevin, the film’s giant colorful fictitiuous bird, in a net launched by those intent on its capture. The Up FX team was tasked with the challenge of creating a net model which could be believably launched, tangled with a thrashing, feathered character, stretched taut, cut with a knife, and dragged across the ground by a pack of dogs. We will discuss the technical and artistic techniques which made this possible.
