ABSTRACT
The primary challenge at the heart of Visual Effects lies in the ability to translate the director's creative brief into compelling visuals using a combination of art and technology. In the case of Venom a key requirement was to keep the character design as faithful to the comic books as possible. This talk describes the challenges tackled by the Rigging, Effects, and R&D departments at DNEG in order to bring this classic antihero to life in a photorealistic manner.
