Unpack the creative process of world-building through the eyes of Art Directors and Visual Development artists – from rough concepts to environments that define the worlds we see on screen.
Like Greg the Dog and Officer Knight, like Mr. Wolf and The Bad Guys, like Gabby and Pandy, Production Designers and Art Directors have a special partnership. Join the artistic leadership teams from three of the most recent feature films from DreamWorks Animation to learn more about the visual development process and the teamwork it takes to make the DreamWork(s)!
Take a behind the scenes look at DreamWorks Animation’s award winning short film, “Wednesdays with Gramps,” with the Director/Writers, Chris and Justin Copeland, producer, Shabrayia Cleaver, and the creative leadership team. Kicking it off with a screening of the 8 minute short, learn how they crafted a story unifying vintage with contemporary, not only in the story they wanted to tell but in the unique aesthetic of the film. Inspired by video games, generational bonding, and pushing the limits of animation in short form, join this team for an engaging conversation.
