THE MAKING OF “PEARL”, A GOOGLE<br />
SPOTLIGHT STORY<br />
Sunday, 24 July, 10:45 am-12:15 pm<br />
“Pearl” is a Spotlight Story directed by<br />
Oscar-winning animator Patrick Osborne.<br />
Conceived from the beginning as a 360º<br />
experience, “Pearl” takes place entirely in<br />
a car and explores the gifts we inherit from<br />
our parents, both tangible and intangible.<br />
The challenge: create a 360º interactive<br />
animated film with a strongly art-directed,<br />
highly stylized non-photorealistic look,<br />
with naturalistic character animation tightly<br />
synchronized with an original song, and a<br />
story that collapses decades into minutes<br />
through montage, and make it run on a wide<br />
range of devices, from mobile phones to VR<br />
headgear, in real time.<br />
Panelists<br />

Rachid El Guerrab, Spotlight Stories Project Lead<br />

“KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS”:<br />
ONE GIANT SKELETON, ONE<br />
COLOSSAL UNDERTAKING<br />
Monday, 25 July, 2-3:30 pm<br />
For “Kubo and the Two Strings”, (in theaters<br />
19 August), LAIKA launched an immensely<br />
powerful puppet – to scale. The result:<br />
a giant (18-foot) skeleton with a 24-foot<br />
wingspan from finger to finger. With realworld<br />
materials including dense CNC foam,<br />
paper, paint, and a steel armature, the<br />
Giant Skeleton was a massive undertaking,<br />
involving LAIKA's notoriously interdependent<br />
and collaborative crew. And when the<br />
puppet was finished, the challenges began.<br />

THE MAKING OF MARVEL’S<br />
“C<strong>AP</strong>TAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR”<br />
Tuesday, 26 July, 10:45 am-12:15 pm<br />
In “Captain America: Civil War”, Steve<br />
Rogers leads the newly formed team of<br />
Avengers in their continued efforts to<br />
safeguard humanity. But after another<br />
incident involving the Avengers results in<br />
collateral damage, political pressure mounts<br />
to install a system of accountability, headed<br />
by a governing body to oversee and direct<br />
the team. The new status quo fractures<br />
the Avengers, resulting in two camps, one<br />
led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the<br />
Avengers to remain free to defend humanity<br />
without government interference, and the<br />
other following Tony Stark’s surprising<br />
decision to support government oversight<br />
and accountability. Marvel Studios, ILM,<br />
Rise FX, and Method Studios show<br />
attendees how they created some of the<br />
movie’s most heart-stopping moments.<br />
