Disneyland "World Of Color"
Andrew lead a team of artists as Compositing Supervisor on the World of Color production which spanned February through June, 2010. The visual effects teams were charged with conceptualizing and designing the story for all animations – including directing Mickey’s animation with lead animator Tony Bancroft from Duck Studios, and depicting Pixar characters in 3D water form. To re-create the characters as liquid entities, and have them interact with the elaborate 3D water fountains and environments, the team rendered over 150 fluid and volumetric mist elements with cutting-edge beta software to produce a massive amount of 3D fluid simulations. The resulting scenes were a complex mixture of 3D water effects, background mist projection screens, and real fountains of water that shot 150-200 feet into the air.
