DESCRIPTION:Youxi Woo, Sean Sexton, Jason Mayer, Pablo Valle, and Betsy No
 fsinger (DreamWorks Animation)\n\nAt the end of the Kung Fu Panda 3, Oogwa
 y calls Po “Both sides of the Yin and Yang. And my true successor.”  Now a
 s we enter the fourth installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise, Po is fa
 ced 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 ne
 w locales where he meets new friends, including a thief named Zhen, as wel
 l as finding a dangerous villain with far reaching shape shifting powers, 
 The Chameleon.  But in order to become the spiritual leader, he must under
 stand what it means to have the balance of Yin and Yang.  \nThis session w
 ill explore how the filmmakers kept balance at the forefront of their desi
 gn and technology decisions; the innovative new FX techniques for transfor
 ming animated characters, the use of Real Time game engines to build out a
 nd discover new worlds, the various threads of the story - good vs evil, f
 amiliar vs new, heart vs action.\n\nRecording: Livestreamed, Not Recorded\
