23 #SIGGRAPHcaf | #SIGGRAPH2018 "Incredibles 2": Suit Up, It Might Get Weird! Wednesday, 15 August, 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm West Building, Ballroom AB In a conversation that will not only span multiple disciplines, but also multiple years of technological advancement at Pixar, the team behind "Incredibles 2"–many of whom also worked on the first film–will compare and contrast the filmmaking process then and now. With a sequel, there's always the challenge of making a film true to the original, yet different in every detail. In building the world of "Incredibles 2," the team tackled one of the most technically daunting films in Pixar's canon, all while needing it to hue to the familiar tone established by the first film. Hear from this super group as they examine how they used the past to inform the present and, incredibly, achieved the near impossible. Panelists: Rick Sayre, Supervising Technical Director Gordon Cameron, Technical Supervisor Bill Watral, Effects Supervisor Bill Wise, Character Supervisor Nathan Fariss, Sets Supervisor Reid Sandros, Optimization & Rendering Supervisor Darwyn Peachey, Global Technology Supervisor Erik Smitt, Director of Photography - Lighting Mahyar Abousaeedi, Director of Photography - Camera Beth Albright, Shading & Groom Lead Bret Parker, Anim 2nd Unit and Crowds Supervisor Chris Burrows, Sets Shading Lead Esdras Varagnolo, Lighting Compositing Lead Evan Bonifacio, Directing Animator Fran Kalal, Character Tailoring Lead Paul Kanyuk, Crowds Technical Supervisor Philip Metschan, Previs Lead Ralph Eggleston, Production Designer Stephen Schaffer, Editor Tom Nettleship, Lightspeed Lead Pixar Animation Studios Go Behind the Scenes in the Production Gallery Explore artwork, props, costumes, and more from recent film, VR, or games pro- ductions in the Experience Hall's Production Gallery.
