Yin and Yang: The Balance of Animation in Kung Fu Panda 4
DescriptionAt the end of the Kung Fu Panda 3, Oogway calls Po “Both sides of the Yin and Yang. And my true successor.” Now as we enter the fourth installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise, Po is faced with a new challenge of growth, his promotion to the spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace. We accompany Po as he visits both familiar and new locales where he meets new friends, including a thief named Zhen, as well as finding a dangerous villain with far reaching shape shifting powers, The Chameleon. But in order to become the spiritual leader, he must understand what it means to have the balance of Yin and Yang.
This session will explore how the filmmakers kept balance at the forefront of their design and technology decisions; the innovative new FX techniques for transforming animated characters, the use of Real Time game engines to build out and discover new worlds, the various threads of the story - good vs evil, familiar vs new, heart vs action.
