And so it was their enthusiasm, and their commitment to doing this. Always keep it photo real but you could give it a dream like quality so you see the whole thing through kid's eyes.

It got me thinking of how we could create our own complete environment and I could do something similar to what I was thinking about for “Magic Kingdom” which was You know, if Disney had a Castle this big, make the Castle that big, if the branches of trees in this Movie in real life were this big or a Panther is this big, make him as big as he was in the Cartoon. But as he discussed “Life of Pi” and he talked about the tone of that film and he talked about “Avatar”. And I didn't really understand, I knew the Animated Film, but didn't understand how they'd make a live action version of it. He loved the Novel, the stories, and this was gonna be the next one after the success that they had. Alan Horn loves “Jungle Book.” He loved it as a kid. And I didn't really thing anything of it after that and then I got the call from Disney to come in. Just a very experienced guy who really understood Visual Effects and what you could do with them. Maybe it was because we were cheering for them as they entered, but I think it's because they were like proud parents, ready to brag about the accomplishments of their new baby, The Jungle Book. Favreau was excited to explain his process of creating an Effects Movie that combined special effects and live action.Īnd so I met with Rob Legato, our Visual Effects Supervisor on The Jungle Book. Jon Favreau and Neel Sethi walked into a room of bloggers with proud smiles on their faces.
