INTERVIEW
The main portion of this episode (starting at 30:20) is our interview with Ralph Eggleston (Production Designer), Bryn Imagire (Shading Art Director), Philip Metschan (Visual Designer), and Nathan Farris (Sets Supervisor).
Listen in as they share wonderful details about how they held back the animation quality of the new film at the very opening of the film so it wouldn’t be as visually jarring if someone watched The Incredibles and immediately wanted to turn on Incredibles 2. They also discuss some amazing details about how they crafted complete cities for the film (even some buildings in the background).
