An Evening with DreamWorks Animation: The Look of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

Join us for a look inside the hit film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish with an amazing team of artists from DreamWorks Animation! The Academy Award-nominated sequel was released last year and found the hero cat trying to restore the first eight of his nine lives. Helping to bring his journey to life were VFX Supervisor Mark Edwards, Head of Character Animation Ludovic Bouancheau, Effects Lead (and Gnomon graduate) David Chow, CG Supervisor Sondra Verlander, and CFX Artist Pramita Mukherjee, and we are thrilled to welcome them to the Gnomon Stage!
During this event, our panel breaks down their work and shares shots from the giant fight and the final wolf battle. Viewers will hear about the decision to use stepped animation along with additional line work, the challenges surrounding the chains and fur, and how the unique painterly look and graphic scenes were generated!
If you’re interested in character animation, visual effects, lighting, or are simply a fan of the famous feline, you won’t want to miss this behind the scenes look at Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The DreamWorks panel presents for the first hour and leaves plenty of time for audience questions.
Events with closed captioning are available via Gnomon's Facebook Page.

This is incredible. I love hearing all of the techniques that went into the animation style. The movie was so much fun and you can see the intentional work that went into it to make it what it is here. Thank you

I enjoy watching any piece of information related to the behind the scenes for this movie and this was another absolutely fantastic piece of information. I found it funny when they said that they wanted to scare the kids. They certainly did a great job at scaring me (and I was 16 when I saw it 😅)
