2020 is a special year for a number of iconic animated films.
Celebrate the talent and legacy of these milestones with the creators who made them happen.
This year marks the 10-year anniversary of Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. Celebrated for its beautiful photorealistic visuals, the film was directed by Zack Snyder, developed by Animal Logic Entertainment and produced out of Animal Logic Studios in Australia. Over three years, a team of 500+ artists, technicians and support staff designed, developed and executed one of the most ambitious and visually rich animated films of our time. Tools and techniques never tried before were harnessed by Animal Logic to bring Kathryn Lasky fantasy books to life.
This session brings together a panel of key players from the creative team who will discuss a range of topics and look back at the trials and tribulations of making this incredible film. Hear how the film came into development and what it was like to work with with Zack; the challenges of Animal Logic’s first 3D animated feature; developing feathers, fire and foliage; learning the ins and outs of owls and how a stunt team with cardboard wings and claws became the most helpful reference material when animating fight scenes.
Presentation speakers are:
• DAVID BURROWS
• DAVID SCOTT
• ERIC LEIGHTON
• GRANT FRECKELTON
• SIMON WHITELEY
• ZAREH NALBANDIAN
• IAN FAILES (moderator)
