VIEW CONFERENCE Kicks Off Season with FREE Online Session: Hal Hickel on ‘The Mandalorian’
Skwigly
VIEW CONFERENCE announces 2020’s Premier PreVIEW online session: THE MANDALORIAN Animation Director Hal Hickel of Industrial Light & Magic will be in conversation with Ian Failes, editor of the Befores and Afters website, on Saturday 27th June at 10:30pm UK BST.
In this PreVIEW session, VFX journalist Failes will talk with Academy Award winning animation director Hickel about Disney+’s breakthough and immensely popular television series “The Mandalorian.” For this series, ILM developed new virtual production technology that made it possible for artists to create feature-film quality animation and visual effects under broadcast television constraints. The exciting new methods they developed will give filmmakers working on feature films as well as television series unprecedented opportunities.
Hal Hickel oversaw all the animation for the creatures, vehicles, and characters in ‘The Mandalorian’ and played a key role in visualizing ILM’s miniature/motion-control shots featured in the show. He has received an Academy Award for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, is a three-time Oscar nominee, and was the animation director for Rango, which received an Oscar for Best Animated Feature.
