PRODUCTION SESSIONS (continued) 26 THURSDAY, 28 JULY FROM ARMADILLO TO ZEBRA: CREATING THE DIVERSE CHARACTERS AND WORLD OF “ZOOTOPIA” Thursday, 28 July, 10:45 am-12:15 pm The world of “Zootopia” is a vast, multiscale, multi-climate city that represents the biomes of the tundra, desert, rainforest, and grasslands. It is also a place where humans never existed and animals have evolved to be anthropomorphic, clothed, city-dwellers. Walt Disney Animation Studios pushed the artistic boundaries of all aspects of the production process to create vastly different environments filled with hundreds of unique and detailed characters. The scale difference of the animals, from a mouse to giraffe (95:1), required creation of a world that could be inhabited by characters of all shapes and sizes while depicting thousands of furred and clothed animals. Panelists Ernest Petti Nicholas Burkard Brian Leach Sean Palmer Michelle Robinson Hans-Joerg Keim Walt Disney Animation Studios DEVELOPING “MASS EFFECT: NEW EARTH” – A 4D HOLOGRAPHIC ADVENTURE Thursday, 28 July, 2-3:30 pm This session focuses on development of “Mass Effect: New Earth,” a first-of-its kind theme-park attraction at California’s Great America in Santa Clara. The experience features “holographic 3D”, using the world’s largest and highest-resolution 3D LED screens combined with cutting-edge mixedfield sound technology, motion seats, and 4D effects such as leg ticklers, air blasts, transducers, and CO 2 .
